What 眓 means
It means looking upward, or the appearance of an elevated gaze. The dictionary 《說文解字》 glosses it as 視高貌; 目 relates to the eye and seeing, while 戉 supplies the sound.
That entry links its reading to 施罛濊濊 in the Book of Songs, 《詩經》, a Chinese poetry collection. Other entries gloss 眓眓 as “to look.”
Classical dictionary vocabulary; the gloss describes the direction of the gaze.

1Why does 眓 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.
