What 𮔆 means

No; it is a Tày Nôm spelling. In Tày, it writes lượt, a word for a bug.

Vietnamese lượt means “one’s turn”; a Vietnamese Nôm entry uses the separate character 𧙷 for that word. The Latin spelling matches, but the language, meaning, and character differ.

How did Nôm Tày develop?

Tày writers adapted Han characters to record their own language.

Nôm Tày poems from the 16th–17th centuries show the script was already mature. Its history also includes influence from Vietnamese Nôm and Zhuang Sawndip, another local character script shaped by Chinese writing. These are links between writing traditions; they do not establish a direct ancestor for 𮔆.

Why does 𮔆 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.
