What 軌 means
It means a wheel track, route, orbit, or customary norm.
In Chinese, 軌 can mean a wheel rut or route; in compounds its path sense reaches orbits and customary rules. Japanese 軌道 means a track or orbit, and Korean also uses 軌道 for a track or orbit; Japanese 常軌 means the usual course.
An early form appears on bronze inscriptions from the Western Zhou, an ancient Chinese dynasty. It referred to vehicle movement, including a wheel rut or the spacing between wheels; the path idea later extended to routes, orbits, and rules.

1Why does 軌 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.
