What 䋡 means
It is a variant of 紓, meaning to ease or release.
For the spelling's history, an early Chinese dictionary tradition, Shuowen, records the related form 紓; the later rhyme dictionary tradition Jiyun lists 䋡 as its variant. The variant keeps 糸, the silk-thread component, but changes the sound-bearing part from 予 to 余, making it an alternate written form of the same word.
Its senses include slowing, loosening, freeing, or untying; dictionaries also connect the easing sense with 舒. In a message, read 䋡 as a rare spelling of 紓; the surrounding words supply the rest.
How do I type 䋡?
Use Unicode input or a character viewer if it is missing.
On Linux, press CtrlShiftU, enter 42e1, then press Enter or Space. On Windows, use Character Map; on macOS, use Character Viewer. If it appears as a box, select a CJK font that includes it.
What if someone sends 䋡?
Read it as a rare written variant of 紓.
The spelling preserves the variant rather than adding a separate mood. If the exact form matters, ask whether the sender is quoting a source or intentionally keeping that spelling.
Formal and lexicographic; using it draws attention to the exact spelling.
A bare 䋡 does not reveal why that spelling was chosen; check the surrounding sentence.

1Why does 䋡 show as a box?
It is a font-coverage problem, not a different character. Unicode identifies the character, but the selected font and rendering system must provide its glyph.
