What 袦 means
袦 is a rare old character with clothing meanings.
The meaning of 袦 in old dictionaries is clothing-related: one entry gives a 襦 (a traditional upper garment) linked to lower-status wearers; another describes a plain short garment without edging.
The earliest exact record is 《广韵》 (1008), a Chinese rhyme dictionary; 《类篇》 (1066), a character dictionary, treats 袦 as a shortened form of 䘿. 《方言》, a regional wordbook, records 䘪䘿 for a short 襜褕 (robe); 《后汉书》, a history of the Later Han, mentions an embroidered half-sleeve in this clothing tradition. A missing glyph may mean your font lacks it.

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.
