What 統 means
It extends from silk’s leading thread to order, lineage, or rule.
糸 marks silk; 充 supplies the sound link. The thread image extends to continuity and bringing parts together.
《說文》, an early Chinese character dictionary, glosses 統 with 紀 as a guiding line. A 2015 survey lists small seal script, an old Chinese writing style, as its earliest form; it records no oracle-bone, bronze, or Warring States form, and gives no invention date.

1Why does 統 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.
