What 訵 means
It means to observe or find out in secret. Chinese dictionaries gloss it as watching or knowing something secretly; a lost Jin-era Chinese dictionary named 字林 is quoted for “know secretly.”
Japanese dictionaries also record a sense of secretly finding something out. A Japanese title from the Edo-era (early modern Japan) writes 訵く with the reading くどく.

1Why does 訵 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.
