What 沍 means
Its central image is something stopped or sealed.
The Chinese classic 《管子》 uses it for blood that stops flowing; the writer 張衡 uses it for a spring sealed by ice. A 2024 Chinese dictionary entry notes that the early dictionary 《說文》 omits it; 《玉篇》 records it by 543. The Japanese poetry collection 《和漢朗詠集》 uses 沍陰 for severe cold around 1018. 沍 can also describe water spreading.

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.
