What 𗇌 means
Its listed gloss is “fortune.”
Li Fanwen’s Tangut–Chinese dictionary lists 𗇌 as entry 3812 and records its reconstructed reading in scholarly Latin-letter notation as lu².
The script was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 to write Tangut. It served official, private, and religious texts, continued under Yuan and Ming rule after the kingdom fell, then faded out by the end of the Ming period.
Historical Tangut writing and later scholarship are its main contexts.

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.
