What 畝 means
It means a field ridge or a land-area unit.
The form cited here goes back to an early Zhou bronze spelling, 畮. Later forms settled as 畝, used for raised planting rows and for measuring cultivated land.
Chinese centers on acreage, read mǔ; Japanese uses うね for the ridge and せ for its area unit. Simplified Chinese writes the same word as 亩.
Neutral and technical: farming, land measure and historical vocabulary.
Do not read 畝 as a mood signal; check the language.

1Why does 畝 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.
