What 𮊊 means
Here, 𮊊 stands for 蹄, a snare used to catch rabbits.
筌 is a bamboo fish trap, and 蹄 is the rabbit-snaring net. The pair comes from the Zhuangzi, an old Chinese classic: once the fish or rabbit is caught, the trap has done its job.
In 辩正论, a Buddhist treatise from the Tang dynasty, the image supports a claim that different customs can serve the same end; its text writes 𮊊 where other transcriptions have 蹄.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𮊊 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension F block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
