What 𮢱 means
It records a rare glyph from a Buddhist text collection.
An earlier Unicode chart pairs it with 鍵 (“key”); the University of Tokyo’s SAT Buddhist-text project records 𮢱 as a distinct glyph.
The Taishō Tripiṭaka, a printed collection of East Asian Buddhist scriptures, began publication in 1924. SAT encoded rare characters from it for digital editions.
Why does this show as a box?
The selected font may not include this glyph.
When the font lacks 𮢱, Unicode says a missing-glyph box or similar placeholder may appear; a supporting font can show its outline.
A specialist form for exact transcription.
If the source uses 𮢱, keep it; don’t silently substitute 鍵.

1Why does 𮢱 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.
