What 𮂎 means
It is a rare Han glyph recorded in Buddhist scripture.
SAT, a University of Tokyo text project, lists it in the Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō, a 100-volume Japanese Buddhist canon published over ten years starting in 1924. SAT’s 2017 Unicode proposal let digital texts display characters missing from computer fonts.
A Chinese character catalogue also cites the Kangxi Dictionary (1716) for this form. That marks a dictionary record by then, not the character’s creation date.
Why does 𮂎 show as a box?
The installed font may not include this glyph.
Whether 𮂎 appears depends on the installed font: without CJK Extension F coverage it displays as a missing-glyph box.

1Why does 𮂎 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
