What 辝 means
辝 is a historical variant spelling, not a separate modern word. Its meaning comes from the 辭 family: speech, wording, refusal, and formal leave-taking.
說文解字 records 辝 as the 籀文 form of 辤, an older Chinese script style associated with declining or refusing. Later variant records also link it to 辭 and note that 辭 and 辤 became difficult to distinguish.
Is 辝 different from 辭 or 辤?
They are related written forms, not separate modern words. 辭 is the standard Traditional Chinese form, 辞 is its Simplified Chinese counterpart, and 辤 is another historical variant linked to 辝. Use 辭 or 辞 according to the writing system; keep 辝 when preserving a source or discussing the variant.
Using 辝 in ordinary prose signals a historical or specialist spelling.
For ordinary writing, use 辭 in Traditional Chinese and 辞 in Simplified Chinese.

1Why does 辝 show as a box?
A missing-glyph box can appear when the active font lacks a drawing for 辝. Fonts that support it may draw its strokes differently; that changes its appearance, not which character it is.
