What 迀 means
It writes an old word for moving forward. The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese dictionary, assigns movement to 辵 and sound to 干; 迀 writes a word rather than depicting a scene.
The earliest attestation cited for 迀 appears on 連迀鼎, a bronze vessel from the late Spring and Autumn period. Later dictionaries also record “to block.”
Its literary, dictionary register makes a standalone casual message hard to interpret.

1Why does 迀 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.
