What 𮧌 means
The older meaning was about storing and harvesting grain.
On Shang oracle-bone inscriptions (writing on turtle shells and animal bones used for divination), 嗇 is interpreted as wheat stored in a granary; Western Zhou bronze inscriptions use it for harvesting grain. 嗇 later also meant conserving or being sparing. In the classical line 服田力嗇，乃亦有秋, it means working the fields toward a harvest, not stinginess.

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.
