What 焎 means
It means “fire vapor”; another reading means “fire burning.” The Guangyun, a Chinese dictionary arranged by rhyme and compiled around 1008, glosses 焎 as 火氣 (“fire vapor”); later dictionary material also records 火燃 (“fire burning”).
Dictionaries record 焎 as an older form of 烲. A traditional Chinese sound-based classification also groups it with characters using 折 as a sound-bearing component; this is a writing-and-sound link, not a shared definition.
Its context is historical dictionaries and character study.

1Why does 焎 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.
