What 觪 means
It describes a horn bow adjusted for smooth, easy handling.
角弓 means a bow made with horn; in 觪觪角弓, 觪 describes how the bow is set up. The dictionary trail begins with a gloss in 玉篇, an early Chinese character dictionary. Classical discussion also links the bow passage with 觲 and 騂 (simplified 骍).
Taiwan's Ministry of Education lists 𧤱 as a variant of 觪. Its 2024 entry notes that 觪 does not appear in Shuowen Jiezi, another early Chinese character dictionary.
A classical dictionary term for a horn bow's smooth, well-adjusted handling.
Without the bow context, a reader may take it for a stray or mistyped character.

1Why does 觪 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.
