What 躸 means
It means a single person standing alone.
Medieval rhyme dictionaries are its earliest record: the Song-era 廣韻 gives 身單貌, “the look of being alone,” 類篇 gives 一身也, “one body,” and 集韻 a reading meaning “only.”
Its form pairs 身, “body,” with the sound element 奇, putting it in 奇’s phonetic series.
Bookish and obscure — most readers won't recognize it on sight.

Questions people ask
1Why does 躸 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.
