What 涾 means
Alone, 涾 is glossed as overflowing water; 涾沱 carries a wave sense.
The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, records 涾 as a regional word from 河朔, a historical Chinese region, for water boiling up and overflowing.
Later, the poet Mu Hua (木華) uses 涾沱 in his sea poem 海賦 for long waves surging and spreading outward. A Korean scholarly study of classical sea writing also preserves 涾沱 for heaving water.
Literary and specialized; its documented uses belong in dictionary entries and classical writing.
For the wave sense, use 涾沱; 涾 alone is glossed as water boiling up and overflowing.

1Why might 涾 show as a box?
A font without 涾 can show a missing-character box. On Windows 10/11, optional Chinese, Japanese, or Korean fonts may be absent, so the same document can display differently; choose a font that includes it.
