What 岍 means
It names Qian Mountain in Shaanxi, not mountains in general.
In 導岍及岐, a route phrase in the Yu Gong chapter of the ancient Chinese Book of Documents, 岍 marks a geographic waypoint.
Later place names include 岍水, a river name, and 岍阳, a historical county name tied to that waterway. Historical records also connect 岍 with 汧; accounts differ on whether 吴岳 and 吴山 name the same mountain.
A historical geographic name; on its own, it needs place-name context.
Do not use 岍 as a general word for “mountain”; it names Qian Mountain.

1Why does 岍 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.
