What 𮶪 means
Some references list it as a variant of 蒟.
蒟 appears in Chinese terms for betel pepper and konjac, and in Japanese 蒟蒻 (konnyaku). This cross-reference does not settle 𮶪's reading in every personal name.
Why was 𮶪 added to Unicode?
It came through a set for rare characters in official records.
GIDC23-443 places it in China's Ministry of Public Security ID system in 2023. China's national character standard, GB 18030, says the larger supplement aimed to preserve rare personal and place names in population records and information exchange. This dates the administrative trail, not the glyph's first appearance.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𮶪 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.
