What 繣 means
It can mean a tying cord, contrariness, or a cracking sound.
A commentary on 周禮, a classical Chinese book about ritual and official duties, uses 繣 for a cord tied at the neck. In 緯繣 it describes contrariness; in 繣瓦解 it evokes things splitting as they collapse.
Classical and dictionary-like; gloss it for readers outside those contexts.

1Why does 繣 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.
