What 𗀘 means

It means “to meet” or “to be infected.”

The 12th-century dictionary Sea of Writing and reference Homophones record both senses.

Why was the Xixia script created?

It served Western Xia government and Buddhist texts.

Created under a Western Xia emperor around 1036, it drew on Chinese writing and the Khitan script, another regional system, but stayed distinct. Scholars cite an official Guazhou document from 1072 as its earliest surviving example.

Why does 𗀘 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.
