What 㿊 means
Severe pain or grievous suffering.
Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, glosses 憯 as pain. Later dictionaries gloss 㿊 as pain or illness; the Han Shu, a Han dynasty history, uses it for punishment and serious harm.
㿊 uses the illness component 疒; 憯 uses the heart component 心.
Classical and dictionary-heavy; a rare, deliberate choice in modern writing.
Use 慘 or 惨 when readers need the familiar form.

Questions people ask
1Why does 㿊 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.
