What 访 means
Visiting or seeking information; the surrounding word decides.
Shuowen Jiezi, an old Chinese character dictionary, glosses the traditional form 訪 as consulting others for advice; “visit” covers only part of that meaning.
The compound sets the tone: visit, inquiry, or investigation.
For a personal visit, 访问 can sound formal; 拜访 makes a polite visit explicit.

Questions people ask
1Why does 访 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.
