What 𰬡 means
It names the work of sewing a garment’s edge.
The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary compiled around 100 CE, defines 緁 as stitching clothing and lists 䌌 as another form.
The Book of Han, a Chinese history, uses 緁 for decorative edging sewn onto silk; another Han-era phrase, 緁獵, is glossed as things in sequence. Japanese kanji dictionaries list 緁 with readings shū and shō; Cantonese dictionaries list it as cap1 in Jyutping, the Cantonese romanization.

1Why does 𰬡 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.
