What 馾 means
Different dictionaries preserve different glosses.
In Mandarin, dǎn has a tone that dips and rises and is glossed “name of a horse”; dàn has a falling tone and is glossed “a horse sleeping.” The Guangyun, a Chinese dictionary from the Song dynasty, also records a headgear gloss and a horse-moving gloss. The exact English meaning depends on which entry is translated.
In its written form, 馾 pairs 馬, the character for horse, with 冘 as its sound component.
In modern Standard Chinese, 馾 is marked obsolete; its recorded senses are dictionary glosses.
In a message, it may look like a typo or an unexplained rare character.

1Why does 馾 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.
