What 㱎 means
㱎干 is an old compound glossed as “unknowable.”
The Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, from the Eastern Han, records 㱎干 with the gloss 不可知, “unknowable.”
Later commentary links 㱎干 with the names 昆吾 and 昆仑 in a discussion of roundness or muddiness. Treat that as an interpretation of the compound, not a second everyday sense or proof that 㱎 derives from 昆.
Archaic and specialist: read it as a classical-text or dictionary character.
Can I send 㱎 without explaining it? Only if your reader knows classical Chinese; otherwise gloss it as “unknowable.”

1Why does 㱎 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.
