What 次 means
It maps to 次, the same Han character.
In Korean Hanja (Chinese-character vocabulary), 次 is read 차 (cha) and means order or sequence.
Taiwan's CNS 11643-1992 is a coded character set. Unicode's compatibility supplement retains entries from its planes 3–7 and 15 so conversion back can recover the source entry. Every Unicode normalization form, a standard way to treat equivalent text alike, turns 次 into 次. The registered sequence 次 UFE00 uses an invisible selector to request the variant glyph where supported.

1Why does 次 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.
