What 鎢 means
鎢 means tungsten in Traditional Chinese.
The older compound 鎢錥 names a small pot, recorded in early Chinese dictionaries. In 1871, the Chinese chemistry book 化學鑑原 used 鎢 for tungsten, its ore, and steel hardening.
金 marks the metal; 烏 supplies the matching Mandarin sound and a black association tied to the ore. Simplified Chinese uses 钨 for the same element; 鎢 is its Traditional Chinese form.

1Why does 鎢 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.
