What 𘢼 means
The number identifies a place in a modern component list. Tangut radicals are structural pieces dictionaries use to group characters. Tangut dictionaries did not share a single component list, so Unicode's inventory combines several scholarly systems. The script remained in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties after Western Xia fell; component 189's number belongs to modern cataloging, not an old Tangut word or numeral.

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.
