What 亸 means
It describes something hanging loosely or bending down.
The earliest dictionary record linked to 亸 is an Eastern Han Shuowen Jiezi entry, an early Chinese dictionary: 奲 is glossed as “rich or heavy,” later linked to hanging down.
Tang poetry uses 嚲 for drooping willows; simplified Chinese writes it 亸. Literary phrases also use it for hair, sleeves, and flowers. Song-era 亸避 and 亸免 mean “avoid.”
Literary and old-fashioned; it sounds classical.
For ordinary modern “hide” or “avoid,” use 躲; 亸避 is literary.

1Why does 亸 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.
