What 𮯟 means
It is a variant of 龜, the character for “turtle” or “tortoise.”
Japan’s Moji Jōhō Kiban (“Character Information Infrastructure”) lists it as MJ059287 in a set for exact administrative records.
In Shang-period oracle-bone writing, 龜 pictured a turtle; its shell was used for divination. This history does not date 𮯟 itself.
Use it when a name or source requires this exact form.
Replacing it with 龜 can erase the spelling recorded in a name or source.

1Why does 𮯟 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.
