What 魤 means
It is a fish name in Chinese dictionary tradition. The Eastern Han dictionary 《说文解字》 records the related form 𩵏 as a fish-name headword. This is an early record of the character family, not proof that this exact glyph was already used then.
Later dictionaries list 魤 as a variant of 𩵏 and 𩵡 under the same fish-name gloss. Modern Chinese references give 魤 the Mandarin pinyin reading é and 𩵏 huà—roughly “uh” with a rising tone and “hwa” with a falling tone. If 魤 appears as an empty box, your font lacks its glyph; the character in the text is unchanged.
Rare and lexicographic; it reads like a dictionary character, not an everyday fish reference.
Alone, it is too obscure to make “fish” clear.

1Why does 魤 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.
