What 緽 means
It writes a red-color word, usually as a variant of 赬.
In the classical period, the Book of Songs phrase 魴魚䞓尾 appears under 䞓 in Shuowen, an early Chinese dictionary; it records the related form, not a headword for 緽.
Dye terms distinguish 縓, 赬/緽, and 纁 by stage. The Rites of Zhou, an early ritual text, specifies 緽 for a funeral banner. Historical Korean color vocabulary also records it as red; later names shifted.

If it renders as a box, your font may lack the glyph; its identity and meaning are unchanged.
