What 炢 means
The gloss is “smoke emerging.” A glyph-history panel labels a Chu-system manuscript form “曾11.” The Song-period Guangyun dictionary records that sense; the Kangxi dictionary keeps the core gloss, supporting continuity rather than a documented meaning shift.
If 炢 appears as a box, the active font may not include its glyph.
Archaic and specialist-looking; suited to a dictionary lookup or a classical-text context.
Alone, it does not reveal the sender’s intent; ask what they mean.

Questions people ask
1Why does 炢 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.
