忪 has two Mandarin readings: zhōng (roughly “joong,” with j as in “judge”) in 怔忪, for a startled, fearful feeling, and sōng (roughly “soong”) in 惺忪, for groggy wakefulness; 惺忪 can also describe a soft, pleasant voice. The earliest dictionary entry known for 忪 is in 《玉篇》; as of 2026, 《说文》 does not record it.

Why does 忪 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.
