What 赇 means
It means bribery: a payment used to bend the law. It can name the payment, offering it, or accepting it. This is not a neutral word for money or a present.
An Eastern Han (early Chinese dynasty) dictionary, the Shuowen Jiezi, defines 賕 as wealth used to bend the law. It analyzes the written form as the money-related component 貝 plus the sound component 求. Han-era legal wording uses 受赇枉法 for accepting a bribe and bending the law.
Formal, literary, and suited to legal-historical writing.
It means bribery, not a neutral payment or gift.

1Why does 赇 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.
