What 𮉡 means
It applies the simplified components of 纑 to write a dialect word.
The Warring States book Mencius is an early attestation of 纑 for hemp fiber prepared as thread; the Han-era character dictionary Shuowen Jiezi defines it as thread for cloth.
The Han-era history book Shiji also uses 纑 for ramie, a plant whose fibers can be woven into cloth. Other classical texts borrow 纑's sound for different words meaning dark, hard soil or a wooden support between a column and a beam.

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.
