What 𗛬 means
A Tangut word glossed “tree name,” not a tree picture.
Western Xia rulers commissioned Tangut writing in 1036 for state administration and Buddhist texts. It also carried translations from Chinese and Tibetan; its forms drew on Chinese characters, but the script writes Tangut, not Chinese. This glyph appears in a Tangut manuscript catalogued as Or.12380/1843 (G).
A historical Tangut word encountered in texts and language study.
Use it as a specific Tangut word, not a generic tree icon.

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.
