What 𮌉 means
One Chinese dictionary tentatively links it to 炙.
Han Dian, a Chinese character dictionary, says 𮌉 may be the same character as 炙. 炙 means “to roast or char” as a verb and “roasted meat” as a noun, so treat the connection as a clue rather than a settled reading.
Why is 𮌉 in a Buddhist text character set?
SAT proposed it for a digital Buddhist text edition.
SAT, a Buddhist-canon text database, lists 𮌉 among the characters its team proposed for the Taishō New Edition, a collected edition of Buddhist scriptures. This gives the glyph a documented source-text context.

1Why does 𮌉 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.
