CJK Unified Ideograph-79E8

What 秨 means

It means swaying grain in the field.

Early dictionary analysis builds it from 禾, grain, plus 乍 for sound, with the recorded sense completed around 100 CE as grain in motion. Later dictionaries keep that agricultural reading.

An Eastern Han stele carved in 186 CE writes 秨 where 祚 belongs; that is a carved mix-up, not a second meaning. Read 秨 as crops, and leave blessing to 祚.

Rare and bookish; use it only for old texts or rare-character notes.

A box means a missing font, not a new meaning.

秨 vs 祚

Why does 秨 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.
