What 遢 means
Its everyday sense belongs to 邋遢, not 遢 by itself. Modern Mandarin dictionaries direct standalone 遢 to that compound; alone, it usually looks like a lookup or an unusual, nonstandard use.
A Yuan-era example uses 邋遢 for dragging one's feet along a long road, picturing a gait. A Qing-era example extends the word to extreme fatigue.
Colloquial and critical: the compound describes people, clothing, rooms, or conduct.
It criticizes the subject; it is not neutral.

1Why does 遢 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.
