What 栽 means
It first clearly named boards for building earth walls.
Whether oracle-bone inscriptions include 栽 is disputed; they were written on animal bones used for divination. Bronze inscriptions use 栽 as a name. Bamboo-strip texts from China’s Warring States era use it for wall-building boards. That sense later extended to planting seedlings, then planting more broadly.

1Why does 栽 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.
