What 𮸡 means
It belongs to China’s official population-record character set. A 2023 amendment to GB 18030, China’s mandatory character-encoding standard, added it to a 622-character supplement for the Public Security Population Information font. The set supported citizen real-name certification. Unicode 15.1 encoded the block in 2023; that dates standardization, not the character’s creation.
Why does 𮸡 show as a box?
The active font may not contain a glyph for it. At the Unicode 15.1 launch in 2023, vendors could begin implementing Extension I. Unicode identifies the character; a font supplies its visible strokes. Without this glyph, an app may show a box.

1Why does 𮸡 show as a box on some devices?
It is recent: Unicode added it in version 15.1 (2023), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
