What 烍 means
It names a field-clearing practice that burns grass or weeds. 烍 is an agricultural term, not a general word for fire.
The Chinese dictionary 集韻, completed in 1039, links 烍 to 熂. Classical commentary describes the related practice as burning grass around trees so they could be tended.
If someone sends 烍 alone, start with its agricultural dictionary sense; the character does not by itself signal excitement.
A box instead of 烍 can mean missing font coverage; Taiwan's CNS11643 entry reports Windows 10 includes a glyph.

Questions people ask
1Why does 烍 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.
