What 幭 means
It names a cloth used to cover something.
幭 can mean a carriage cover, a headcloth or a single-layer quilt. The nearby words tell you which object the writer means.
A proposed early appearance is in an inscription on the Western Zhou Fifth-Year Diaosheng zun, a bronze ritual vessel. A 2008 review records several readings: one identifies 幭 and treats the next sign as a measure of length, fitting the carriage-cover sense; other scholars read the passage differently.
Classical and specialized; it suits historical, lexical, or deliberately archaic writing.
An isolated 幭 leaves the object unclear: carriage cover, headcloth or quilt.

1Why does 幭 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.
