What 𮬀 means
In Japanese, 𮬀 is read あゆ (ayu) and names the sweetfish.
The character combines 魚 (“fish”) and 香 (“fragrance”), and is glossed as 香魚 (“fragrant fish”). 鮎 is the familiar Japanese spelling for the same fish, but a separate character.
Japan's 2024 Moji Joho Kiban list—a reference set for administrative writing, including names—also records this glyph.
Why does 𮬀 show as a box?
Your font or text app may not support this rare character.
As of 2024, displaying this character required compatible text software and a font containing its glyph. An empty box is a display failure; the text may still contain 𮬀.

1Why does 𮬀 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.
