What 𮎁 means
It carries the dance meaning of 舞.
Shang-dynasty oracle-bone inscriptions—early writing carved on bone and shell—show the ancestor as a dancer holding objects. That graph was borrowed for 無 (“not have”); 舞 added 舛 (feet) to mark dance. Readings vary: Mandarin wǔ; Japanese mai or mau; Korean mu; Vietnamese Chinese-character reading vũ.
Where does this form appear?
In a book from the Song dynasty about court music.
Scholar Chen Yang’s Le Shu uses 𮎁 in passages about ritual dance and ceremonial objects.

1Why does 𮎁 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.
