What 𪺇 means
It writes Vietnamese lè, an intensifier.
Chữ Nôm developed after Vietnam’s independence in 939 as writers adapted Chinese-derived characters to record Vietnamese alongside Classical Chinese. A Nôm dictionary cites 𪺇 at folio 45a of Thiên Nam, a Vietnamese history poem.
Why can xanh lè sound critical?
It sharpens a description and can add a judgment.
In Vietnamese, lè follows an adjective: xanh lè can describe a striking green and suggest that something is too green or unripe. Modern Vietnamese is usually written in the Latin-based Quốc ngữ alphabet; 𪺇 is the older Chữ Nôm form.

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.
