What 峤 means
qiáo: a steep peak; jiào: a mountain route. In Mandarin, qiáo starts with a clear puff of air; jiào begins similarly without it.
The Book of the Later Han records an Eastern Han proposal by Zheng Hong to open 峤道 between Lingling and Guiyang after dangerous sea shipments from Jiaozhi.
A later supplement to the Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, defines 嶠 as a high, steep mountain.

1Why does 峤 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.
