What 鰡 means
An old fish name, not one fixed species.
In Zhang Heng’s Gui tian fu (“Return to the Fields”), a poem dated 138, 鰡 appears beside 魦, a name for a small blow-sand fish.
Later dictionaries list 䱖 and 𩺜 as variants. Taiwanese-language and other Taiwan fish names combine 鰡 with characters that identify different species. Use the full name when the species matters.

鰡\9C21Why is 鰡 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
