What 贍 means
It means providing what someone needs.
An early Chinese dictionary, 玉篇, glosses it as helping or supplying. Classical examples extend the sense to being sufficient, abundant, or richly detailed; stele inscriptions and manuscripts preserve variant forms.
The simplified Chinese counterpart is 赡. Japanese dictionaries also record senses of helping and being enough, with readings すくう and たりる.

1Why does 贍 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.
