What 㰿 means
It expresses a sigh or lament. The character writes a sorrowful exhalation in a literary or dictionary register.
The Kangxi Dictionary cites two earlier dictionaries, Yupian and Jiyun, for this character. Taiwan's Ministry of Education Dictionary of Chinese Character Variants lists 㰿 as an alternate written form of 欷. That related character is explained in Shuowen, an early Chinese dictionary, and appears in quotations from the Chu Ci, an old poetry anthology, and a Jin-era text.
Literary and dictionary-register; obscure in casual chat.
If a reader needs the exact sentiment, put the sigh into words.

1Why does 㰿 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.
