What 𗶄 means
It identifies a code point, not a Tangut word.
Tangut script has a square style influenced by Chinese writing, but it records the Tangut language. The resemblance gives no basis for reading this character as Chinese.
Tangut dictionaries can index characters by recurring components; a component's shape alone does not tell you the word. The displayed glyph depends on a Tangut-capable font.
Its natural setting is historical or scholarly writing about Tangut.
Its Chinese-inspired shape is not evidence of a Chinese reading.

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.
