What 𰈂 means
It marks a sound in a Buddhist recitation.
A modern Mandarin dictionary gives 𰈂 the reading zhì and describes it as a Buddhist scripture transliteration character. A dharani is a Buddhist formula meant to be recited; transliteration means writing sounds from another language with Chinese characters.
An early example appears in a Chinese Buddhist scripture about two figures called Medicine King and Medicine Superior, attributed to the Liu Song period (420–479). There, 𰈂 sits among the syllables of a longer recited formula.
Highly specialized and liturgical; its documented setting is Chinese Buddhist recitation texts.

1Why does 𰈂 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.
