What 𰲹 means
It denotes an ant.
It is linked to 螘, an older Chinese form of 蟻. The Han-era dictionary Shuowen Jiezi defines 螘 as an ant; in that form, 虫 marks an insect and 豈 cues the sound. Later Chinese writing favored 蟻.
Did the ant character gain other meanings?
The related form 蟻 did in classical Chinese.
In classical Chinese, 蟻 could also mean wine foam or stand for something tiny or a crowd.
Why does 𰲹 show as a box?
The font or app may lack the glyph.
If your font lacks it, the character may appear as an empty box; the underlying text is unchanged.

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.
