What 𮭱 means
It is a nonstandard written form of 鹿, the character for deer.
The Japanese character record gives this form the readings roku, ka, and shika: roku is Sino-Japanese; the other two are native Japanese.
What is old about the deer character?
The ancient pictorial history belongs to 鹿.
In oracle-bone writing of the Shang, 鹿 appears as a deer drawing; later bronze and seal forms stylize the same sign. Japanese character records list 𮭱 as a nonstandard variant of it.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𮭱 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension F block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
