What 𩰯 means
In Chinese writing, 𩰯 names a kind of grain porridge.
The related headword 𩱍 is recorded in the Eastern Han Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi (2nd century CE), where it is defined as food made from cooked grains. Its structure joins 鬲, an old cooking-vessel element, with 古 as a sound hint.
The Kangxi Dictionary (1716) lists this exact form with the Mandarin reading hú and a definition for rice-and-wheat porridge. In 1815, Qing scholar Duan Yucai records a Jiangsu use of 餬 for porridge made from grain flour, rice, or wheat.

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.
