What 𰲮 means
It appears in a Chinese word for an earthworm.
An early Chinese glossary, Erya, records 蜸蚕 as a name for an earthworm. The spelling 𰲮蚕 uses 𰲮 in place of 蜸. In Mandarin, the whole word is pronounced qiǎn tiǎn; pinyin uses tone marks to show the sounds. The earthworm meaning belongs to the two-character word.
Why might 𰲮 show as a box?
It needs a font with Unicode Extension G coverage.
As of 2026, the BabelStone Han font lists this glyph as supported. A font without Extension G coverage may show a blank box instead.

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.
