What 𪛏 means

It writes 韽, the classical word for a faint sound.

The related word 韽 appears in the Zhouli (“Rites of Zhou”), an old Chinese book on ritual and government, for a faint bell tone. A Song-era sound dictionary, Jiyun, records 𪛏 as another way to write it; Jiyun was completed in 1039.

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.
