What 仯 means
The reading and source change its sense.
Mandarin Pinyin is a Latin-letter reading guide: chào (“chow,” falling tone) means “child” or “small”; miǎo (“meow,” rising tone) links 仯 to 眇, “one-eyed.”
The Chinese dictionary 玉篇 (Yupian) records “small” in 543. A Yuan-period play uses chào for “stubborn”; 僬仯 can mean “startled” or “small-looking.”

1Why does 仯 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.
