What 团 means
A gathered group or a rounded mass, depending on the word. The traditional form 團 is recorded in bronze inscriptions from early Western Zhou, an ancient Chinese dynasty. Early dictionaries gloss 團 as “round”; later uses extend to gathering and organized groups, as in 团购 and 团结.
The 1956 Chinese Character Simplification Scheme standardized 团 for both 團 and 糰. In traditional writing, 團 is used in group-related words and 糰 in food words such as dumpling, so converting 团 back requires the surrounding word.

1Why does 团 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.
