What 濟 means
In Chinese, 濟 can mean crossing, aid, or relief. Mandarin reads it jì in words for ferrying or aid, and jǐ in river names and the literary repetition 濟濟. The three-dot water part points to the meaning; 齊 contributes the sound.
One bronze form from the late Warring States period is dated around 250 BCE. 濟 originally named a river; its sense broadened from crossing or ferrying it to helping someone across and then giving aid. Japanese uses 済 as the modern form of the same character. Korean Hanja—Chinese characters used in Korean writing—retains 濟 in names and compounds.
What does 濟 mean in a message?
Read the surrounding language: 濟 alone has no fixed message meaning. Its sense shifts between Chinese compounds, an older Japanese written form, and Korean Hanja names. That script context does not supply one cross-language message reading.
Mostly seen in compounds, literary expressions, and names; alone, 濟 carries little conversational tone.
A lone 濟 does not tell you whether the sender means relief, a name, or a different language.

1Why does 濟 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.
