What 䏛 means
It is a rare form linked to an old Chinese worm name.
An entry in the Shuowen, an early Chinese dictionary, records 𦚧䏰 as an insect name and says a county took its name from worm-rich ground. Later sources identify the creature as an earthworm and give the place name as 朐忍 or 朐䏰. Chinese dictionaries link 䏛 to 𦚧 as a mistaken or variant form.
As of 2026, no separate modern chat meaning is established. Font or fallback choices may draw this encoded character in different regional forms; a change in shape alone does not prove that the underlying character changed.
Historical or dictionary use; in ordinary Chinese, it is obscure enough to look like a typo.
For “earthworm” in ordinary Chinese, use 蚯蚓; 䏛 alone can look like an unexplained typo.

1Why does 䏛 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.
