What 携 means
Carry or bring along; the whole word sets the sense.
Chinese 携带 means “carry”; 携手 extends “join hands” to cooperation. Japanese 携帯 means “portable,” and 携わる means “take part.”
Traditional 攜 combines a hand component with one that cues sound. The Book of Odes, a classical Chinese poetry collection, uses 如取如攜 for taking or carrying—an older attestation, not an origin date.
Read the full compound; 携 can extend beyond carrying.
In Chinese business writing, 携手 usually means cooperation, not hand-holding.

1Why does 携 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.
