What 結 means
It means “tie” or “join.” 糸 is the thread-related meaning component; 吉 supplies the sound. Japanese uses the character in musubu, the verb “to tie” or “join.”
Older forms are attested in Warring States-period manuscripts and inscriptions, Qin manuscripts, and seal and clerical scripts, older styles of Chinese writing.

Questions people ask
1Why does 結 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.
