What 㳘 means
A spring running downhill — or the sound it makes.
Missing from the Shuowen, China's first dictionary, it surfaces in the Yupian (543), the Longkan Shoujian — a monk's handbook for reading Buddhist texts — and the Song-era rhyme books Guangyun and Jiyun. Always a dictionary word, never an everyday one.
If 㳘 shows as a box or blank, your font lacks coverage — the meaning and the copied character are unchanged.
㳘 in a message is literary or specialist, not a reaction.
㳘 sent alone needs context — no mood is attached.

1Is 㳘 the same as 淙?
No. Both name water sounds; 淙 (cóng) is the everyday one — 㳘 stayed a dictionary word that also means a descending spring.
