What 𬳰 means
A horse coat or a horse with it, not a breed.
Read つきげ (tsukige). A Japanese horse-color guide revised in 2019 describes body hair from cream to pale yellow-white, with mane and tail matching or nearly white.
Japanese equine terminology includes palomino here; the word can also mean a horse with this coat.

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.
