What 䴩 means
It names a kind of deer.
The earliest documented dictionary record places 䴩 in the 鹿 (“deer”) section of 玉篇, a Chinese dictionary compiled around 543; the older Chinese dictionary 說文 has no entry for it. This dates a surviving dictionary record, not the character's invention.
Japanese kanji dictionaries also give 䴩 the same deer meaning. Chinese dictionaries cross-reference it with 麜, another deer term; the entries are related, not interchangeable spellings. The character names an animal category, but a message needs context to show why it was chosen.
A specialized deer term; explain the animal sense when your audience may not know this character.
Without context, a reader may take it for a typo.

1Why does 䴩 show as a box?
A box can mean the selected font lacks 䴩. In a 2020 forum discussion about the upLaTeX typesetting system, a missing-glyph warning left a PDF blank until a font with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean coverage was configured.
