What 𗗳 means
Introduced in 1036 to write Tangut, the script adopted Chinese regular script, a standard brush-written style, and became one of the Western Xia state’s two main writing systems beside Chinese characters. It continued in use after the state fell; surviving Tangut sources from the Yuan period are mostly Buddhist.

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.
