What 𘫖 means
It marks part of a larger Tangut character. 𘫖 is an analysis component, not a complete character with its own fixed reading or translation. The whole character supplies the reading and meaning.
Tangut writing developed for the Western Xia state around 1036–1038, drawing on Chinese writing and serving government, literature, and Buddhist translation. It remained in use after the state fell in 1227; a Tangut inscription dated 1502 shows this later use. Today, components such as 𘫖 help analyze the script.
Without a font that covers Tangut, it may appear as an empty box. Different Tangut fonts can also draw it differently.

1Why does 𘫖 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.
