What 錏 means
It names a helmet neck guard and has older technical senses.
The Shuowen Jiezi, a Chinese character dictionary, records 錏鍜 as neck armor. Its explanation treats 金 as the metal-related meaning part and 亞 as the sound part.
In Japanese, 錏 is read しころ (shikoro): layered plates hanging from a 兜 (kabuto, a Japanese helmet) to protect the neck. Japanese usage also includes cloth hanging from a hood and 錏庇, an eave term named for the same hanging shape. Chinese references give other older technical senses, including soft steel and a name for ammonia.

1Why does 錏 look different in another font?
It can. Fonts and regional character conventions can change stroke details; a missing glyph is a font-coverage issue, not a new reading.
