What 隼 means
It names a falcon, with readings set by language. The bird was trained for hunting. Early Chinese texts use 隼 for the falcon, and script research describes the form as probably separated from 隹, the small-bird form.
Japanese records attest hayabusa in the Nihon Shoki (720). It later suggested a swift, brave person, and はやぶさ became names for a fighter (1938), a space probe (2003), and a train (2011).

Questions people ask
1Why does 隼 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.
