What 𣾾 means
It let Vietnamese writers put their language into writing. Chữ Nôm adapted Chinese characters and parts of them to write Vietnamese words. One scholarly periodization places Proto-Nôm (an early stage) in the 8th–9th centuries; the script served literature, religion, law, history, and government records from the 10th century into the 20th.

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.
