What 榾 means
Chinese: holly or stump; Japanese: hearth firewood. 枸榾 names Chinese holly; 榾柮 can mean a wood chunk or stump. The Japanese readings are hota (ほた) and hoda (ほだ).
The graph pairs 木, the wood element, with 骨 as its sound component. The 543 Chinese dictionary 玉篇 lists 枸榾木; a botanical text describes its pale, bone-like wood as good for lidded vessels in southern China. The 1116 Japanese poetry anthology 永久百首 uses hota for winter firewood; a 1603–04 Japanese-Portuguese dictionary also records large timber and fallen, rotten trees.
In Japanese, a literary winter word for hearth fuel.

1Why does 榾 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.
