What 𘨋 means
It is a structural part of a full Tangut character.
A Tangut reference book for looking up sounds, known as Homonyms, records this component on the right side of a full character in the 12th century. That documents a use, not when the sign first appeared.
The Western Xia state, also called Xixia, used Tangut for official writing and for translations of Buddhist and Chinese works.
Is Tangut Component-524 a full character?
No: it is a component, not a standalone word.
Unicode lists Tangut components so researchers can index and analyse how full characters are structured. One full character documented with this component, 𗅉, has it on the right side.
That position shows a structural relationship; the component does not provide a reliable word or translation by itself.
This is a scholarly component label, not a word used on its own in ordinary Tangut writing.
If it appears as a blank box, the font may lack Tangut support; that is a display problem, not a different character.

1Why does 𘨋 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.
