蹸

What 蹸 means

蹸 means to trample, especially under a wheel.

The classical Chinese character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi glosses 蹸 with 轢, a word for a vehicle running over something.

The physical action extends to people in 蹸藉, meaning trampling or oppression. A Song-era quotation by Su Shi uses it this way. Repeated 蹸蹸 has a separate dictionary sense: a manner of walking.

Classical and lexicographic; its meaning is clearest in compounds and quotations.

In 蹸藉, the force is trampling or oppression, not ordinary walking.

Why does 蹸 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.
