What 醏 means
It means 醬: sauce or seasoning.
The 2024 dictionary entry says 說文, an older Chinese character dictionary, does not list 醏, while 玉篇, 廣韻, and 集韻 do. These works preserve its history in Chinese dictionaries.
Rare and dictionary-like in Chinese; it reads as a historical form, not ordinary food writing.
For ordinary Chinese writing about sauce, use 醬; 醏 may look like a typo.

1Why does 醏 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.
