槳 names a paddle or oar for moving a boat. 船槳 is the hand tool; 螺旋槳 names a powered propeller.

Questions people ask
1Why does 槳 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.
