What 糺 means
糺 is a variant of 糾, spanning joining to correction. Japanese 糺す (tadasu) means to question or investigate wrongdoing; 糾す is the alternate spelling. Chinese references extend the same thread into gathering, entangling, and correcting.
By the Eastern Han Shuowen Jiezi, completed around 100 CE, 糾 meant a three-strand rope; later lexicons record 糺 as its variant. Twisted thread is the image behind the abstract senses.
During the Liao–Jin period, 糺軍 named a frontier-tribe army.
Formal and uncommon in Japanese; 糾 is the safer standard spelling.
Alone, it signals no mood; read the surrounding word.

1Why does 糺 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.
