What 󠅋 means
It marks a written shape only after the character it modifies. The pair is called an ideographic variation sequence: a Han character followed by its selector. It lets plain text preserve a regional or historical shape without encoding each shape as a separate character.
Unicode approved 240 additional selectors in 2001; the present supplementary range was settled in 2003, and the Ideographic Variation Database (IVD) registered its first collection in 2007. A selector number has no fixed meaning across different Han characters: each registered pair defines its own form. If a pair is unregistered or unsupported, the Han character displays normally and the selector stays invisible.

1Why 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.
