What 廰 means
廰 is a written variant of 廳, used for halls, rooms, and government offices.
The form appears in 龍龕手鑑, a Chinese dictionary compiled to help readers with Buddhist scriptures; the book was completed in 997.
An older account connects 廳 to 聽事, a bureau where officials heard cases. The phrase was shortened to 聽, and the character's use later spread beyond government buildings.
Historical-looking; in new writing, use the usual form for the language.

1Why does 廰 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.
