What 蓈 means
It names a plant whose grain fails to develop.
Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary, records 蓈 around 100 CE for a plant whose grain head fails to develop. The graph combines 艹, a plant-marking component, with 郎.
The Chinese idiom 良莠不齐 uses a related plant pairing to describe a mixed group of good and bad.

1Why does 蓈 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.
