What 𰥖 means

It denotes the season of spring.

The lower part is 目, the “eye” component, where 春 has 日, the “sun” component; that added stroke marks a written variant. A catalog of variants in stone inscriptions (writing carved on stone) records 𰥖; Unicode keeps it distinct from 春.

春 appears in Shang oracle-bone writing for the season and as a time marker; these records are divinations written on animal bones. Its shape changed through bronze, bamboo-strip writing and seal script. Later Chinese uses also let 春 suggest vitality, a year or romantic desire.

Historical inscriptional form; not ordinary Chinese spelling.

Why does 𰥖 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.
