What 𘥭 means
It is a lookup part in a Tangut character-indexing system.
Radicals group Tangut characters by shared parts in dictionaries. Here, 366 is the Unicode component label; H2004-054 is the radical label. An Ideographic Description Sequence (IDS) outlines a character's parts. In one, 𘥭 marks a part; alone, it does not make a full character.
The Tangut script borrowed design ideas from Chinese writing and from the Khitan, a historical people. It served official, private and religious writing; manuscripts from the 12th or early 13th century survive. After 1227, it continued under Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete.
A specialist lookup mark from Tangut scholarship.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘥭 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.
