What 䑉 means
It means excrement or feces. Chinese dictionaries record the Mandarin reading yíng (Pinyin, roughly “ying” with a rising tone); Japanese dictionaries list エイ (a long “e”) and ヨウ (a long “yo”) with the same literal gloss.
The oldest named dictionary source in its record is 篇海, a Chinese character dictionary from the Jin period. The later Kangxi Dictionary also cites 五音類聚. These references trace a dictionary record, not the character's invention date.
Why might 䑉 look different or show as a box?
Font rendering varies with available fonts. A font may draw this rare character differently from another or show a missing-character box if it lacks the glyph.
Explain it if you send it
As a casual reaction, 䑉 is a gamble: the recipient may not recognize the character or its literal meaning. If the point is “poop,” say so in ordinary words.

1Why does 䑉 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.
