What 𰽣 means

It is a simplified form of 鈏, an old name for tin.

The Han-era Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese-character dictionary, glosses 鈏 as tin; Han scholar Zheng Xuan gives the same gloss in a note on the Rites of Zhou, an old ritual text. Shuowen says 金 marks metal and 引 gives the sound.

Guangyun, a rhyme dictionary, also records an iron-implement sense.

A philological character tied to historical metal vocabulary.

Older dictionaries give both tin and an iron implement; context decides the sense.

Why does 𰽣 show as a box?

The active font may lack this supplementary-plane glyph. A font with 𰽣 will display it; a box does not mean the character changed.
