What 迣 means
It means blocking a passage, clearing a route, or going beyond.
The earliest surviving examples of 迣 are on slips from the Qin dynasty, narrow strips used for writing; later examples also appear in clerical script, an early Chinese writing style. In classical texts, it can mean stopping passage or clearing a route. A Han account uses it for villagers who hear drums, stop movement, and chase suspected thieves; court language uses the related barrier sense for clearing a ruler’s route.
A Han ceremonial line uses it differently: to go beyond or surpass ten thousand li, a traditional Chinese distance measure. In 遮迣 the sense is blocking or clearing a route; in 迣萬里, it is going beyond a distance.
迣 missing glyph: what happened?
A box usually means the font lacks a drawing for 迣.
Fonts can give 迣 different proportions or lack an outline for it. A blank box can appear even when the encoded character is correct; the font or fallback font simply cannot draw it.
迣 vs 迾: which form should I use?
Use the form printed in the text you are quoting.
The two spellings have a documented historical link, but they are not interchangeable in every source. When a dictionary lookup is unclear, check both entries and preserve the form printed in the passage.
The recorded uses are classical and literary.

1Why does 迣 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.
