箮 is the word for bamboo in bloom. A Hong Kong proverb recorded in 1898 links that flowering with famine; the omen belongs to the plant, not the written character.

Why does 箮 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.
