What 𱑿 means
It is linked to 叿, an older written form of 哄. In Mandarin, 叿 is pronounced hōng; the Kangxi Dictionary (1716), a Chinese dictionary, describes it as the noisy sound of people in a market.
Why is 𱑿 in a coded-character set?
A Chinese source lists it for digital text exchange. In 2001, China’s SJ/T 11239 standard, an eighth supplementary set for exchanging Chinese text, pairs this character with 叿. That dates the digital record, not the character’s origin.
Why does 𱑿 show as a box?
Your font may not contain this glyph. If it does not, the character can remain in the text while the screen shows an empty box.

1Why does 𱑿 show as a box on some devices?
It is recent: Unicode added it in version 15.0 (2022), and phones and computers whose fonts are older than that have nothing to draw it with. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
