What does 鏒 mean?
The surrounding word decides which dictionary sense fits.
Chinese dictionaries use 鏒 for metal material or hardware, the iron bit in a horse's mouth, a needle-sewing method, and a hoe-like farm tool.
The earliest named dictionary record is in the Liang-era Yupian, a Chinese-character dictionary compiled 535–546. The Song-dynasty Jiyun records the sewing and hoe senses; a Qing-era book about objects describes 鏒金 as gold paste applied to an object and fired. The Ministry of Education variant dictionary's 2024 entry says 鏒 is absent from Shuowen, an early dictionary of Chinese characters.
Technical or historical vocabulary; use it where the surrounding wording supports its specialist sense.
One glyph has several readings and senses; do not guess without its word context.

1Why does 鏒 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.
