What 绳 means
It means “rope” or “cord.” In Chinese, 绳 names a physical cord. In carpentry, it also names a taut, inked cord snapped against wood to mark a straight line.
That straight mark connects 绳 to a rule or standard. In 绳墨, the carpenter’s line stands for a standard; 绳之以法 means to punish someone under the law.
Concrete and neutral for rope; formal and stern in compounds about standards or legal punishment.
绳之以法 means legal punishment, not a gentle reminder.

Questions people ask
1Why does 绳 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.
