What 軲 means
Its older and regional sense is a wheel or vehicle.
車 marks a vehicle; 古 hints at the sound. A 2024 Taiwan Ministry of Education dictionary entry notes that 軲 is absent from Shuowen, an older Chinese dictionary, and records it in Yupian, Guangyun, and Jiyun. Dictionary entries also give a mountain name and surname.
As of 2026, northern Mandarin uses 車軲轆 or 軲轆兒 for a wheel; Taiwan Mandarin uses 車輪, and Cantonese 車轆. As of 2026, 車軲轆話 means repetitive, nagging talk.
Regional and colloquial; 車輪 is neutral in Mandarin.

1Why does 軲 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.
