What 丽 means
It describes someone or something beautiful.
Early forms appear in oracle-bone inscriptions (ancient writing carved on bone) and bronze inscriptions (texts cast in bronze). They are interpreted as a deer with paired antlers, connecting an older “pair” sense to beauty. This describes one account of the character’s development, not proof of a maker’s intention.
Classical dictionaries also record “to attach” and link the older “pair” sense with 儷. In 1956, the State Council simplification scheme listed 丽 as the simplified form of 麗, documenting standardization rather than the character’s origin.

1Why does 丽 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.
