What 𫭼 means
The full phrase 圪𫭼 refers to a corner or nook. In many northern Chinese regional words, 圪 (Mandarin pinyin gē) comes first; here it combines with 𫭼 to form the whole expression. A Mandarin dictionary gives 𫭼 the reading láo and records it in Shaanxi place names. A 2025 dialect article quotes the fuller spelling 圪𡑍 in 山圪𡑍里 (“in the mountain corner”).

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.
