What 椼 means
It names a tree.
A Japanese kanji dictionary records the same gloss. In Pinyin, type yan and select 椼 from the candidates; Cangjie, another Chinese input method, uses code DHON.
An early source is 玉篇, a Chinese character dictionary compiled in 543. Much of its original text was lost and the work was revised later, so 543 dates the dictionary tradition, not a surviving first edition.
A dictionary tree name; context, not the character alone, tells you why someone sent it.
Alone, it may look like an accidental character.
