What 峣 means
It means high, steep, or towering, especially of a mountain.
The earliest record used here is the Han-era entry for 嶢, glossing a mountain as high: mountain meaning plus sound cue. The simplified 峣 descends from 嶢, with 嶤 as another form. Western Han writing uses 峣峣 for towering height; a Later Han proverb turns it into uprightness.
Literary and elevated; 峣峣 signals classical or bookish phrasing.
Do not send it as a generic reaction; the recipient may see an unexplained dictionary character.

Questions people ask
1Why does 峣 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.
