What 帞 means
An old Chinese word for a cloth head covering.
An early glossary of regional Chinese speech, 方言, records 絡頭 in western regions and 帞头 in the south, in the historical regions of Chu and Jiang-Xiang.
A later Chinese rhyme dictionary, 廣韻, gives “headscarf” as its short gloss; later dictionaries also call it 邪巾, a cloth wrapped at an angle. The covering was wrapped around the head from back to front. In the related term 袹頭, the cloth is worn for mourning.

1Why does 帞 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.
