What 𮳺 means
It links to the Chinese character for “male animal.” In Chinese character records, 𮳺 is paired with 𤚴 as a simplified and traditional form. Dictionaries identify 𤚴 with 牡 (Mandarin mǔ), the male side of an animal pair; 牝 is its female counterpart. The pairing is a spelling relationship, not a rule to substitute the forms in every word.
The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary, glosses 牡 as “father of livestock,” and the Book of Songs uses it for a male horse. The Kangxi Dictionary entry for 𤚴 cites Jiyun, a Chinese rhyme dictionary, and says the form was originally written 牡. Historical dictionaries also record 牡 for a lock bolt and for male plants.

1Why does 𮳺 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.
