What 𣊾 means
It writes bây, which refers to the present moment.
The Nôm dictionary analyzes 𣊾 as 日 plus 悲: 日 points to day or time, while 悲 cues the Vietnamese reading bây. Chữ Nôm is a historical script for writing Vietnamese; many characters combine a meaning part with a sound part.
A 2019 periodization study places Proto-Nôm, an early stage of the script, in the 8th–9th centuries. That dates the script’s early history, not this individual character.
As of 2026, it belongs to historical or scholarly Vietnamese writing, not everyday modern Vietnamese.

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.
