What 𪯼 means
In Vietnamese, this whole character is read tày. A Chữ Nôm dictionary glosses it as “equal” or “even.”
Why did writers use Chữ Nôm?
It let Vietnamese writers record their language. After Vietnam's independence in 939, scholars adapted Chinese characters and their parts for Vietnamese; Nôm literature grew while Classical Chinese remained common in official life.
Why does 𪯼 show as a box?
Your font may not include this rare character. Unicode classifies its block as rare and historic, so a missing-glyph box can indicate font coverage.

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.
