What 軰 means
It means what 輩 means: a generation, rank, or group of peers.
The early Chinese character dictionary 說文解字, completed around 100 CE, describes 輩 as one group of one hundred military carriages. The idea of an ordered group connects to later senses for people of the same generation, rank, or kind, and to succession.
An early surviving example of 軰 appears in a memorial inscription for Sima Sheng dated 535 CE. Variant dictionaries list 軰 as an alternate form of 輩, rather than a separate character with another meaning.
What does it mean when someone sends 軰?
Treat it as 輩 written in an uncommon variant form.
If it appears by itself, the character gives no cue beyond that variant spelling. Read the surrounding phrase for whether 輩 means a generation, rank, or group.
A historical variant suited to transcription or character study; ordinary Chinese writing uses 輩 or 辈.
In ordinary writing, 軰 can look like a typo; use 輩 or 辈.
