What 籈 means

籈 names the scraper; 敔 is the instrument. Classical dictionaries also give 籈 a bamboo-utensil sense.

Descriptions vary between wood and bamboo. In ritual music, 柷 marks the opening; the 敔-and-籈 pairing marks the close in Chinese and Korean ritual traditions.

Classical and specialist; in an ordinary message, it reads as a deliberate historical reference.

籈 is the scraper, not the 敔 instrument.

Why does 籈 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.
