What 䶅 means
It names a rodent.
Shuowen Jiezi, an old Chinese dictionary, describes an animal from 胡地 (the Hu lands) whose skin was used for fur clothing. Its earliest recorded form is on a bronze inscription from the late Warring States period, when rival Chinese states fought. 鼠 marks the animal category; 各 hints at the sound. Mandarin Chinese reads 䶅 as hé; Japanese dictionaries list kaku and raku.
Historical and lexicographic; fitting for discussion of the animal name or the character's history.

1Why does 䶅 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.
