What 貤 means
It can mean ranking, extending, increasing, or transferring something. The Shuowen, an early Chinese dictionary, describes 貤 as arranging things by successive rank. In its structure, 貝 hints at meaning, while 也 signals sound.
In Han writing, 流貤 links onward transfer with 施 and 移. By the Qing, officials used 貤封 and 貤贈 for honors extended to relatives or ancestors.
Historical and bureaucratic; the compounds suit formal writing.
Alone, 貤 leaves the exact sense unclear; check its phrase.

1Why does 貤 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.
