What 𰮢 means
It names the chest; context can extend it to the inner self. A Chinese translation of the Buddhist Lankavatara Sutra lists it between the head and throat.
Shuowen, an early Chinese character dictionary, records 匈 for “chest.” Later forms added or moved 肉 (“flesh”) to keep the body sense clear; 胷 and 胸 belong to this family. 匈 also begins 匈奴, the Chinese name for the Xiongnu, a people described in Chinese histories.

1Why does 𰮢 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.
