What 峺 means

It describes a difficult mountain barrier or pass.

Its link to 硬 is historical; that does not make 峺 an everyday substitute.

Rare historical Chinese vocabulary; unfamiliar in everyday writing.

Do not use 峺 as a casual substitute for 硬; readers may not know it.

Why does 峺 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.
