What 𘑪 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “among.”
Tangut was a historical language with its own writing system. Its script drew on Chinese and Khitan traditions, but 𘑪 represents a Tangut word, not a Chinese one.
Why was Tangut writing developed?
It served Western Xia government and Buddhist writing.
The Tangut script emerged around 1036–1037. It was used for official documents and Buddhist texts and translations.
Its use continued into the Yuan period; the latest known Tangut inscription is dated 1502.
It points to a historical Tangut text or a specialist discussion of Unicode writing.
Don’t use it as a mood cue: its word meaning belongs to Tangut.

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.
