What 𱼓 means
It writes the Vietnamese word giò in chữ Nôm.
Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese graphs to write Vietnamese. Here, marks flesh; 徒 (Sino-Vietnamese đồ) is the sound cue.
The 1851 printing of Phạm Đình Hổ’s Nhật Dụng Thường Đàm, a Chinese–Vietnamese dictionary, records “𱼓縷” (“giò lụa”). A Nôm poetry collection, Vị Thành Giai Cú Tập Biên, uses 𱼓 in a cooking line.

1Why does 𱼓 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.
