What 櫫 means
It means a marker stake for tethering and labeling. The textual trail points to practical use: markers identifying goods in Zhouli tradition, and commentary describing stakes marking burial places. Think small post in the ground, not decoration.
That stake sense lives on mostly inside two compounds. 楬櫫 keeps the concrete signpost idea, while 揭櫫 stretches it into announcing or laying out a principle. 橥 is the other graphic shape for the same word, not a separate meaning.
Literary and technical; standalone 櫫 is not ordinary casual-message vocabulary.
Do not send it alone as an announcement; expect confusion.

1Why does 櫫 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.
