What 俷 means
It means “do not turn away from virtue.”
The line appears in the Shiji, a Chinese history, as a warning during a Han court ceremony appointing the prince of Yan. Here, 俷 marks a political and moral duty, not an everyday mistake.
The dictionary Jiyun glosses it as “turn away”; a traditional note also offers “fail” or “ruin.” In this line, the first sense fits.
Literary and archaic; it fits a historical quotation or deliberate classical effect, not routine modern Chinese chat.
On its own, it may read as a deliberate classical reference; include the phrase or a plain gloss if context is unclear.

1Why does 俷 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.
