What 𗁳 means
It is a Tangut word glossed with Chinese 角.
A Tangut–Chinese dictionary gives 𗁳 as a noun with 角 as its gloss; 角 can mean “horn,” “corner,” or “angle,” so the English wording depends on context.
Tangut characters can resemble Chinese ideographs, but Tangut is a separate script unrelated to Chinese writing. It writes Tangut, a language distinct from Chinese. The script was created around 1036 for the Western Xia state. It remained in official, private, and religious writing under Yuan and Ming rule, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
A historical writing-system character used in specialist Tangut study, rather than everyday contemporary writing.
Chinese 角 is a gloss, not the same character.

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.
