What 鬾 means
It names ghost clothing or a child ghost. An Eastern Han dictionary, the Shuowen Jiezi, gives both senses and cites 鬾服 in Han Shi zhuan, a classical commentary.
Medical writing from the Tang dynasty uses 鬾 for a child illness blamed on a harmful spirit. A scholarly interpretation traces the lore from a stinging water leech to a mountain monster, then to the child ghost and illness; that proposed chain does not establish how the written character began.

A one-character message needs context to decode. The historical meanings do not identify what a sender intends today; ask for the phrase or source behind 鬾.
Archaic, classical, and specialist; alone, 鬾 reads like an unexplained old character, not an everyday reaction.
Alone, it does not identify what the sender means.
