What 餣 means
An old food word for cakes and pastries.
The earliest known record is the Western Han 《方言》, a book on regional words: it lists 餣 as a regional name for 餌, glossed in later notes as 米餠, or rice cake.
The Song-period 《夢粱錄》 lists 餣子 among foods sold in shops.
Historical and regional food vocabulary; opaque without context.
Alone, 餣 can look like an unknown character, not a food name.

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.
