tangut ideograph-172ec

Tangut character 172EC

𗋬 is a Tangut ideograph, not a Chinese character: the Tangut script used Chinese-style construction for another language. Its Unicode label identifies the character but gives no reading or meaning. The Tangut script was created in 1036 for the Tangut language of the Western Xia (Xixia) state. Surviving manuscripts include Buddhist texts and works translated from Chinese into Tangut. The Tangut language disappeared from everyday use after the Mongol conquest.

Why does 𗋬 show as a box on some devices?

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.
