What 搚 means
It names a forceful hand action: breaking or snapping. Mandarin pinyin lā links to 拉, xié to 拹; xiàn means “to lead or bring along.” As of 2026-09-10, the earliest recorded use is 搚干而杀之 in the Gongyang Commentary, an ancient commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals; its note describes Duke Huan’s ribs being broken in a political killing.
Classical-text and dictionary register; this is a historical word form.
Do not silently change 搚 to 拉 in a quotation; preserve the spelling used by the text.

1Why does 搚 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.
