What 𭿚 means
The family’s proposed early image is a hand opening a door. Shang-era oracle-bone inscriptions—records carved on bone for divination—contain forms read this way, though scholars dispute whether some similar graphs belong to 啓 or another character. Later senses include teaching or enlightening, beginning, and formally informing someone.

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.
