What 󠇁 means

It belongs to the selector range for Han glyph forms.

A Han character is a Chinese-derived character used in Chinese, Japanese kanji, and Korean hanja. The selector follows it immediately; this pair, called an ideographic variation sequence (IVS), is listed in Unicode’s Ideographic Variation Database (IVD) to request one displayed shape without encoding a new character.

The selector number is not a universal style code; the registered base-and-selector pair determines the shape. Unsupported pairs usually leave the base character unchanged and hide the selector. Japan’s Moji_Joho collection registers glyph variants for administrative text, including forms that share one Han code point.

Why does 󠇁 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.
