What 瓊 means
It maps to 瓊, a Chinese character for red or fine jade.
The Shuowen Jiezi defines 瓊 as red jade and analyzes it as 玉 (“jade”) plus 夐, a sound element.
In the Book of Songs, a classic Chinese poetry collection, “Mu Gua” pairs fruit with 瓊瑤, fine jade. 瓊 can also praise beautiful things.
Why does 瓊 have its own Unicode form?
It preserves round-trip conversion with Taiwan’s CNS 11643.
The character’s recorded source is CNS 11643’s 15th plane. Unicode normalization maps it to 瓊; a standardized variation sequence can preserve the glyph distinction.

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.
