𮉱

cjk unified ideograph-2e271

Variant form of 缺

5058/7473

𮉱 is recorded as a variant of 缺, a Chinese character for something broken, missing, or incomplete. The Shuowen Jiezi, an early Chinese character dictionary from the Han dynasty, glosses 缺 as “a broken vessel”; over centuries, it also came to mean a gap, shortfall, vacant post, or absence. A Qing-dynasty catalogue uses 原本残𮉱 to say that the original text is incomplete.

Why does 𮉱 show as a box on some devices?

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.
