What 鯽 means
鯽 names crucian carp, a freshwater food fish. The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, records an older form. The later standard graph combines 魚, the fish component, with 即.
Traditional Chinese writes 鯽; simplified Chinese uses 鲫 for the same fish name. Chinese references connect 鯽 with 鮒. Japanese uses 鮒, read ふな (funa), as a freshwater fish name.
A literal fish name; surrounding words show whether food is being discussed.

1Why does 鯽 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.
