What 礯 means
Its recorded gloss is “stone” or “stone name.”
The sixth-century Chinese dictionary 玉篇, compiled around 543, glosses 礯 as 石也 (“stone”). Later Chinese and Japanese dictionaries retain the broader gloss “stone name.”
Its Unicode encoding date, 1993, marks when it entered the standard, not when the character originated.
With no context, treat 礯 as a character lookup; its dictionary gloss gives no reason to read a social message into it.
Alone in a chat, it can look like a stray character.

1Why does 礯 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.
