What 醰 means
It describes a rich taste that lingers. The Eastern Han dictionary 《說文解字》 (“Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters”) glosses 醰 as “bitter”; later commentary also notes a lasting quality.
The word reaches beyond wine in classical writing. A Western Han long poem, 《洞簫賦》 (“Rhapsody on the Chinese end-blown flute”), uses 醰醰而有味 for music with lingering appeal; a Western Jin poem, 《魏都賦》 (“Rhapsody on the Capital of Wei”), uses 宅心醰粹 for deep, pure character. 酉 marks wine, while 覃 supplies the sound; 𨤌 and 㽑 are variant forms.
Literary and classical; it can slow recognition in everyday conversation.
In casual chat, use a familiar word when the meaning needs to land at once.

1Why does 醰 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.
