What 𗯶 means
It is a Tangut verb glossed “to destroy.” Li Fanwen’s Tangut–Chinese dictionary gives that gloss. The Tangut script was created around 1036 for state correspondence and Buddhist translations; Tangut texts also include private writing. Its square design was inspired by Chinese writing, in a region with its own Khitan script-making traditions.
Historical and scholarly; opaque in ordinary chat.
Do not send it expecting readers to understand “destroy” without a translation.
Drift: After 1227, Tangut writing continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete.

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.
