What 鮽 means
It names a fish in an old Chinese dictionary.
The earliest named record is in the 玉篇, a Chinese character dictionary completed around 543 during the Liang dynasty; it glosses 鮽 simply as “a fish.”
In 鮽, 魚 marks the fish-related meaning, and 余 is the sound component for the Mandarin reading yú. As a text character, its display depends on the reader’s font.
Dictionary or literary; a standalone message offers little context.
A lone 鮽 message needs context; don’t guess at a hidden meaning.

Questions people ask
1Why does 鮽 show as a box?
The font is missing its glyph. 鮽 is text, so a box means the font in use has no drawing for it; a font with support can display it.
