What 跆 means
It means to tread, trample, or kick. In Chinese, 跆籍 means trampling.
Taekwondo’s Korean name, 跆拳道, uses 跆 for foot techniques, especially kicks. The name dates to 1955. Kukkiwon, the World Taekwondo Headquarters, links early Taekwondo’s kicking focus to Taekkyeon, a Korean folk game tied to martial arts.
The Chinese rhyme dictionary 廣韻, completed in 1008, records a dance with linked hands and singing.
Rare alone; 跆拳道 gives it a clear modern use.
Why did someone send 跆? Alone, it is probably a fragment; ask for the surrounding word.

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.
