What 挥 means
挥 means deliberate movement by hand. It can mean wave, wield, direct, brush away, scatter, write, or spend.
Bronze inscriptions record an earlier form in Western Zhou (1045–771 BC), not today's simplified shape. In 揮, 扌 marks hand action and 軍 is the sound component, the part that hints at pronunciation; simplified 挥 uses 军.
Neutral in Chinese; the compound sets the tone.

Questions people ask
1Why does 挥 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.
