What 礡 means

A variant of 礴; read it in the compound. Taiwan's Ministry of Education lists 礡 as a variant of 礴 (2024). In Chinese, 盤礡 is extended-leg sitting; 磅礡 means vast or pervasive.

A story from before China's Qin dynasty in the ancient Chinese book Zhuangzi uses 般礡 for painter Qing, who removes formal clothes and sits freely. Later writing about painting treats this posture as absorbed, unconstrained work.

Why does 礡 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.
