What 灏 means
It can name bean liquid, vast water, or clear spaciousness.
The early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi glosses 灝 as 豆汁, “bean liquid.” Later compounds use 灝溔 for far-reaching water, 灝灝 for boundless breadth, and 灝氣 or 灝景 for clear spaciousness. Dictionaries connect its water sense to 浩 and its clear sense to 顥; 灏 is the simplified form of 灝.
Literary; in names, its expansive sense feels classical.
Alone, 灏 leaves several recorded senses open; the surrounding phrase or name decides.

1Why does 灏 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.
