What 亓 means
It is a Chinese surname character and a historical variant of 其.
An older form of 其 pictured a winnowing basket. When 其 came to mean “that” or “its,” 箕 kept the basket meaning.
亓 appears in bronze inscriptions and manuscripts from ancient China’s Warring States era, Qin dynasty, and Western Han dynasty. Han bamboo slips (texts on narrow strips) use it for 其.
It reads as a surname or historical spelling, not ordinary Chinese prose.
Use 其 for ordinary “that” or “its” in Chinese.

1Why does 亓 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.
