What 忇 means
The dictionaries preserve competing glosses rather than one clear definition.
《說文解字》, an early Chinese character dictionary, glosses 㔹 as “the ability of ten people.” 《玉篇》, compiled around 543, lists 忇 beside it. Later copying seems to have blurred their glosses.
A rare character recorded mainly in dictionaries.
A bare 忇 is a poor way to say “great achievement.”

1Why does 忇 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.
