What 淞 means
It names the Wusong River and related places.
By the late Eastern Han, records used 吴松江 for this river, which served shipping, irrigation, and flood drainage.
In 1278, 松江 became an administrative place name, so 吴淞江 distinguished the river. After 1843, its urban stretch was called 苏州河 (Suzhou Creek).
Geographic and historical; chiefly used in place names.
In 吴淞江, replacing 淞 with 松 changes the established spelling.

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.
