What 魣 means
It names fish; the species depends on language and reading.
The early Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi records 鱮 as a fish name; later dictionaries list 魣 as a variant of 鱮.
Why does 魣 have different readings?
Chinese and Japanese references give it different fish names.
Chinese references connect 魣 with silver carp and a predatory fish. Japanese dictionaries list readings for かます (barracuda) and たなご, another fish name. The language around the character is a stronger clue than the glyph alone.

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.
