What 痜 means
An old gloss gives “sore on the head.” The Song dictionary 集韻 records 首瘍 in 1039.
Taiwan's Ministry of Education lists 痜 as a variant of 禿; 疒 is its sickness radical.
Mandarin reads tū with a high, level tone; Japanese references give トク (to-ku) for baldness.
Rare dictionary form; context matters in messages.
Without context, it may look like a typo.

1Why does 痜 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.
