What does 霽 mean?
It means rain has stopped and the sky is clear.
The Shuowen Jiezi (說文解字), an early Chinese character dictionary, defines 霽 as rain stopping. It analyzes the graph as 雨, the rain component, plus 齊, which indicates the sound.
Later compounds keep the weather image and extend it figuratively: 霽日 means clear weather, while 霽月 is the moon after rain and can describe an openhearted person.
What does 霽 mean when someone sends it?
A lone 霽 reads as literary and deliberate.
In 霽威, 威 shifts the meaning from weather to anger or an imposing manner subsiding; 霽顏 describes a face relaxing after anger. In 光風霽月, clear-weather imagery praises an openhearted character.
Literary and deliberate; in ordinary modern writing, 霽 sounds classical.
For plain modern clear weather, 晴 is the straightforward choice; 霽 adds an after-rain shade.

1Why does 霽 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.
