What 綴 means
綴 means stitching pieces together, then joining ideas.
Han-era Shuowen Jiezi defines 綴 as joining. The character pairs 糸, silk/thread, with 叕, giving a thread-based join that later widened to linking, attaching, and composing.
Chinese keeps senses such as connect, decorate, attach, and write. Japanese reads it in 綴る for binding pages, composing text, and spelling words. Never give lone 綴 one fixed English gloss.

1Why does 綴 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.
