What 褡 means

Its compound decides whether you mean a bag, garment, or quilt.

Read the whole word. 背褡 is vest-like clothing; 褡裢 and 褡膊 are cloth bags; 横褡 is a small quilt. The 2024 dictionary record says 褡 is not in Shuowen and records later witnesses. A Yuan drama uses 褡膊 for a bag; the Ming novel Jin Ping Mei uses 褡裢 for a pouch. A late Qing account describes 褡裢布 becoming official clothing fabric.

Lexical and historical; read it in compounds, not as a standalone message.

Why does 褡 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.
