What 峛 means
It means a low, long mountain or a winding mountain path.
The earliest known evidence is in works from the Han period by Yang Xiong: 法言, a book of sayings, and 甘泉賦, a poem describing a court-ritual landscape. There, 峛 describes the terrain around 甘泉. Later records also give “mountain path” and “name of a hill.” It does not appear in Shuowen, an early Chinese character dictionary.
What does 峛崺 mean?
峛崺 describes terrain that winds, rises, and falls.
In this literary Chinese compound, 峛 pairs with 崺. Later dictionaries connect it with 邐迤 in traditional Chinese and 逦迤 in simplified Chinese, expressions for winding terrain. Japanese glosses also link 峛 to 坂道, a sloping road.
Its established use is literary; its meanings describe landscape rather than everyday conversation.

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.
