What 𗺟 means
It is glossed as a kind of grass.
That broad dictionary gloss does not identify a species.
Is 𗺟 a Chinese character?
No; it belongs to the Tangut script.
Tangut is a separate language. Its script borrowed visual ideas from Chinese writing; nearby Khitan rulers also created scripts.
When was the Tangut script made?
It took shape around 1036–37 under Western Xia rule.
Li Yuanhao, Western Xia’s ruler, is credited with ordering it; court official Yeli Renrong with developing it. The script served state records and Buddhist translation.
Tangut writing outlasted Western Xia’s fall in 1227; the latest known inscriptions are Buddhist prayers on stone pillars, dated 1502.

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.
