What 釈 means
Its older sense connects separation with explanation and release.
Japanese 釈 shortens 釋 and was already used during the Edo period.
解釈 means interpretation, 注釈 a note, 釈明 an explanation, and 保釈 release on bail. 釈迦 names Shakyamuni, “sage of the Śākya clan”; 釈尊 is an honorific for the Buddha.

1Why does 釈 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.
