What 謭 means
It describes shallow learning or limited ability.
An early example in the Chinese history book Records of the Grand Historian is 能薄而材譾, which describes little ability and shallow talent.
Later literary and official examples include 謭劣 and 謭陋. Applied to oneself, 謭劣 becomes formal self-deprecation.
Literary and rare; suited to carefully written Chinese.
Alone, it may look like a typo or an unexplained rare character.

Questions people ask
1Why does 謭 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.
