What 𗥰 means
𗥰 is reconstructed as the Tangut reading la₃.
It is roughly an l followed by an open a. Dictionary glosses link it to a clan surname; Buddhist-name transliterations use it to represent sounds from another language.
The Tangut script was developed for Western Xia government work around 1036; the earliest surviving document is an official text from 1072. Use continued through the Yuan and Ming, becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Proposed Khitan influence on Tangut writing remains disputed.
A historical text character, chiefly relevant to Tangut language and script study.
Its square structure resembles Chinese writing, but 𗥰 is Tangut.

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.
