What 㣈 means
㣈 names an animal; one gloss says “a kind of rat.”
For 㣈 vs 肆, check the sentence: classical texts sometimes use 㣈 as a sound-based loan for the separate character 肆. In that use, it stands in for the word written 肆, not an animal.
A specialized historical character; read it in the context of its source.
Without the sentence, don't choose between the animal gloss and the loan for 肆.

1Why does 㣈 show as a box?
A missing box means the active font cannot draw 㣈; the text character may still be intact. Switch to a font that covers this less common CJK character.
