What 翬 means
It means swift flight or a five-coloured pheasant.
The early poetry collection 詩經 uses 翬 in 如翬斯飛, a line about flight. 說文解字, a later character dictionary, analyzes 羽 (“feather”) as the meaning part and 軍 as the sound part.
Later dictionaries also link it to 揮 (“wave”) and 輝 (“shine”). In 翬翟, a historical dress term, it evokes a pheasant pattern on formal robes. Chinese typefaces can vary its strokes without changing the character.
Specialized literary vocabulary, suited to quotations, names, and historical discussion.
Alone, it gives too little context to choose its sense.

1Why does 翬 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.
