What 𮩜 means
It describes food that has spoiled and developed a bad smell. Unihan maps 𮩜 as the simplified-side counterpart of 餀 in Chinese character conversion.
The Erya, a Chinese reference book, records 餀; an explanatory note describes it as something foul-smelling. Shuowen Jiezi, a character dictionary from the Han era, defines it as food that smells bad. Its entry explains the older form as 食, the food component, plus 艾 as a sound element. The Mandarin reading listed for 餀 is hài.

1Why does 𮩜 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.
