What 𘤙 means
The number identifies a shape used to analyze written characters.
Tangut writing, also called the Xixia script, was created under Western Xia's first emperor around 1036 to write the Tangut language. It appears in official, private, and religious texts. By the mid-12th century, the Sea of Characters, a Tangut dictionary, explained complex characters through parts drawn from other Tangut characters. Meaning or sound belonged to the source character, not necessarily to each component. Unicode component inventories help index Tangut characters; scholars group components differently.

1Why does 𘤙 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.
