What 𗾌 means

A word for a kind of bird.

Tangut was the language of the Western Xia state. Its script was created around 1036 for government and cultural work, including Buddhist texts.

A historical Tangut word preserved in dictionaries.

Is 𗾌 Chinese? No: it belongs to Tangut writing, distinct from the Han characters used for Chinese.

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.
