Tangut character 𗱨

𗱨 is a character in the Tangut script, also called Xixia. The rulers of the Western Xia kingdom ordered the script in 1036 for state use, Buddhist texts, and translations. Tangut writing was modeled on Chinese characters but formed a separate script; its use is attested into 1502.

Why does 𗱨 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.
