What 棜 means
A low wooden ritual tray. It supported wine jars, cups, or sacrificial food; the tray held the objects, not the drink.
A Western Han wooden slip from Wuwei preserves an early written form. Later glosses use 棜 for the tray itself; Classical commentary distinguishes it from the footed 禁 by ritual status. It belongs to the same ceremonial food vocabulary as 俎 and 豆.
Formal and ceremonial; it belongs to classical ritual vocabulary.
Alone in chat, 棜 reads as a reference to the character or object, not a clear reaction.

1Why does 棜 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.
