What 辅 means
辅 means “to help, support, or supplement.” Read it through its compound: 辅助 is auxiliary help, 辅导 is tutoring, and 辅佐 is formal assistance.
The recognizable form has no single inventor or securely dated first appearance in the sources consulted. Early lexicons record a cheek-or-jaw sense and a cart-side brace that steadies a load, a support image that later broadened into helping.
Neutral in practical compounds; formal in political or classical wording.
In 辅车相依, 辅 means cheek or jaw, not “assistant car.”

1Why does 辅 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.
