What 榲 means
Its sense depends on the surrounding word. 榲桲 names quince; alone, 榲 also has recorded senses for cryptomeria, roots, pillars, and lush vegetation.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education entry in 2024 notes that the early Chinese character dictionary 說文 omits 榲 and cites later dictionaries 玉篇, 廣韻, 集韻, and 類篇. 玉篇 was compiled in 535–546; the Chinese book on medicinal plants 本草圖經 also records it in 1061.
Bookish; a lone 榲 reads like a quoted term or dictionary lookup, not an everyday reaction.
Don’t read a lone 榲 as “quince”; that sense belongs to 榲桲.

1Why does 榲 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.
