What 㖪 means
It names a vocal sound, not one fixed emotion.
Yang Xiong’s early 1st century CE dictionary 方言 (Dialects) glosses it as “sound.” Later dictionaries include loud laughter, voice, and tone; a Qing-era Guangdong note records 㖪 for the cry used to startle someone from hiding.
Why does 㖪 appear as 嚄㖪?
The pair is a recorded exclamation of astonishment.
Zhang Taiyan’s 1908 book 新方言, a work on regional speech, records 嚄㖪 in this use.
Several dictionary readings leave it context-dependent: surrounding words distinguish a cry, laughter, voice, or tone.
Don’t read it as laughter by default.

1Why does 㖪 show as a box on some devices?
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.
