What 賘 means
賘 is a variant of 贓 for stolen or illicit property.
Mandarin 贓 is read zāng, roughly “tsang” with a high, level tone. Early oracle-bone inscriptions on bone and turtle shell show 臧 with a positive sense, “good”; later it also means hiding or storing. 贓 joins 臧 with 貝, a shell component found in many wealth-related characters. Tang law grouped theft and bribery under related 赃; later legal records from China’s Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties include 賘.
Formal and historical; in casual chat, it reads as an obscure variant.
For ordinary Chinese writing, use 贓 in traditional text or 赃 in simplified text; 賘 can look like a typo.

1Why does 賘 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.
