What 躪 means
To trample underfoot; figuratively, to harm or oppress.
In Chinese writing, 足 means “foot,” while 藺 supplies the sound. The Chinese dictionary 《說文解字》 records related 蹸 for a vehicle trampling; later examples in classical Chinese, an older written form, use 躪 for crushing underfoot.
In 蹂躪, literal trampling extends to harming or oppressing people.

1Why does 躪 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.
