𮓈 is a historical variant of 鑊 (huò), the Chinese character for a large cooking cauldron. In old religious writing, the same vessel also becomes an image of punishment.

What 𮓈 means

The pot's boiling use supplies the image.

In the Northern Song tale collection Taiping Guangji, a ghost story uses 𮓈 for a vessel set over a fire; the phrase 𮓈汤 in older religious writing evokes a boiling punishment cauldron. That second reading grows from the vessel's use in cooking.

Why does 𮓈 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.
