What 䔜 means
It names a plant in a historical botanical glossary.
䔜 appears in Guangya, a Chinese dictionary compiled under the Wei dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. Its plant glossary pairs 藜蘆 (hellebore) with 葱䔜 as a plant name.
That places 䔜 in specialist plant-name and dictionary writing.
Is 䔜 the same character as 𦶈?
No: they are related forms, but separately encoded.
Japanese character references list 𦶈 as a variant of 䔜 and also record it in 葱䔜. Chinese dictionaries foreground the hellebore sense for 䔜. The relationship connects the forms in reference works; it does not make them interchangeable.
Why does 䔜 look different in different fonts?
The font draws the shape; fallback can change it.
The font used by an app or browser supplies the displayed glyph for 䔜. A fallback font without coverage may show a missing-character box or a different shape; that changes the display, not the encoded character.
䔜 belongs to specialist Chinese botanical and dictionary writing.
A variant link does not authorize replacing 䔜 with 𦶈 in an exact transcription.

1Why does 䔜 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
