What 䀊 means

It names a vessel, and has a separate verb sense.

Shuowen, an Eastern Han Chinese dictionary, gives the broad gloss “vessel.” Guangyun, a later rhyme dictionary (one that groups words by sound), specifies a warming vessel. Other dictionary entries record a verb sense: stirring a liquid until it turns muddy or cloudy.

A character-history chart links the entry to the Chu manuscript tradition and to the small-seal script in Shuowen. The dictionaries also record 𥂔 as a shortened form and 𥃃 as another variant written with 犬 (“dog”) as a component.

Best suited to historical dictionaries and exact transcriptions of older texts.

Why does 䀊 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.
