What 勍 means
Strong and formidable, said of an opponent. Dictionaries gloss 勍 (qíng) as strong or powerful; you almost always meet it inside 勍敵, a formidable opponent.
The received Zuozhuan supplies the earliest textual witness in the phrase 勍敵之人. It joins 力 for force with 京 for sound, so the character writes forcefulness. No single inventor/date is established, and later writing keeps the same strong-foe sense in 勍寇 and similar compounds.
Formal and classical; a written “formidable,” not everyday chat.
Do not swap it with 勁: both touch “strong,” different characters.

1Why does 勍 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.
