What 猪 means
It preserves a legacy form from a Japanese standard.
JIS X 0213, a Japanese character standard, assigned it source code J3-776F; Unicode keeps it for conversion back and forth.
Accounts differ on the pig graph’s earliest form: one places it in oracle-bone writing, carved on bones or turtle shells; another traces 猪/豬 to an older Chinese style called seal script, as 豕 (“pig”) plus 者.

1Why does 猪 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.
