What 㺏 means
It records an animal name in older Chinese dictionaries. Dictionaries gloss 㺏 as a hog badger, a kind of badger, or a wild bear. Another dictionary tradition gives related 䝏 a pig-related sense, such as a breeding sow or a pig seeking a mate. The exact gloss depends on the written form and dictionary, so consult the entry when precision matters.
The Yupian, a Chinese character dictionary from the Southern Liang period, records a related graph with a pig-related gloss. Longkan Shoujian, another Chinese character dictionary completed in 997, is a later record in this animal-name tradition. Later dictionaries link 㺏 with 䝏 and also record 𤠋 and 貗 as related written forms.
Archaic and dictionary-oriented; its animal-name sense belongs to older Chinese vocabulary.
Check whether an entry gives 㺏 or related 䝏 before assigning the pig-related gloss.

1Why does 㺏 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.
