What 𗃱 means
The passage decides which gloss fits. A 12th-century Tangut reference book, Sea of Writing and Homophones, records the character with glosses spanning a body part and moving water.
Is 𗃱 Chinese?
No. It belongs to Tangut, a separate writing system.
The Western Xia state in northwest China developed Tangut around 1036 for official and cultural work; the script later appeared in official, private, and religious texts. Tangut fonts can draw the same encoded character in different shapes.

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.
