What 嚲 means
It means hanging down, drooping, or coming loose.
嚲 is a literary word, not an everyday conversational choice. Classical phrases use it for drooping willow branches or loosened hair, and sometimes for something swaying or loosening.
柳嚲鶯嬌 pairs drooping willows with charming orioles. 鬢嚲釵側 evokes loosened hair at the temples beside a tilted hairpin.
Are 嚲, 亸, and 軃 the same?
They are related forms, but exact spelling matters.
The historical Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi records the related form 奲. Guangyun, a historical Chinese rhyme dictionary, records 嚲 with the sense “hanging down” and lists 䯬 as an old form.
Chinese references give 亸 as the simplified form of 嚲 and 軃 as another historical variant. Some literary dictionaries also list 嚲 as an alternative form of 躲, whose ordinary meaning is “hide.” These links do not make the glyphs interchangeable in an exact quotation.
Literary and specialist; it reads like a classical word, not an everyday message.

1Why does 嚲 look blank in my font?
It may be missing from the selected font. 嚲 is a text character, so its visible glyph depends on a font that includes it; try another font with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean character support. A blank box does not change the underlying character.
