What 𮢨 means
It is a historical variant of 鐵, the Chinese character for iron.
The corresponding simplified Chinese form of 鐵 is 铁. Tang Huiyao (唐會要), a history of government under China’s Tang dynasty, was compiled in 961 and uses 𮢨 in a passage about salt-and-iron administration. Ming and Qing works also use it for iron money and goods. Across these contexts, the sense remains “iron”; the surrounding words identify the trade, currency, or object.

1Why does 𮢨 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.
