What 翅 means
翅 means “wing” and can also mean “fin.”
Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, glosses 翄 as “wing.” In 翅, 羽 points to feathers or wings; 支 hints at its sound.
The meaning covers fish fins and other wing-shaped parts. Classical Chinese uses 翅 in place of 啻 (“only”). Cantonese, a Chinese language, uses 魚翅撈飯, a phrase pairing shark fin with rice.

1Why does 翅 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.
