What 𱁣 means
It writes the Zhuang word for snow. In Sawndip, 𱁣 represents nae (roughly “nai”). Its upper part comes from the lower part of Chinese 雪 (“snow”), and 内 (“inside”) cues its sound rather than its usual Chinese meaning.
Sawndip grew as writers adapted Chinese character forms—sometimes borrowing whole characters, sometimes recombining their parts—to write Zhuang. Its written history reaches back to the Tang period; later uses include songs, stories, religious texts, and practical records such as contracts. 𱁣 is one of several Sawndip forms for nae; modern Standard Zhuang spells the word with Latin letters as nae.

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.
