What 晾 means
Its object tells you whether it is physical or social. With clothes or bedding, 晾 means to air-dry them. 晾干 and 晾晒 stay literal: hang something up and let air do the work.
With a person, 把人晾在一边 turns 晾 into a deliberate slight: parked, ignored, left hanging. The dictionary record's earliest cited examples are Yuan-dynasty plays, where 晾 already describes airing clothes.
Literal 晾 is neutral; for a person, it sounds colloquial and accusatory.
For a person, 晾 implies deliberate ignoring, not ordinary waiting.

1Why does 晾 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.
