What 𗃻 means
It can mean wisdom, intelligence, or consciousness. Its earliest cited record appears in a 12th-century Tangut dictionary called Homophones.
What language is 𗃻 from?
It is a Tangut character, from a historical language and script.
Emperor Li Yuanhao commissioned Tangut writing about 1036 for the Tangut-led Western Xia state, including its Buddhist canon, a collection of Buddhist scripture. The script drew on Chinese writing principles and Khitan precedent, but the Tangut and Chinese scripts were not mutually readable. Tangut texts include Buddhist works, translations from Chinese, law, and literature; texts are dated as late as 1502.
Historical Tangut sources show different shapes for the same character. Unicode may treat shapes that do not distinguish words as one character, so a modern font need not match a manuscript.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗃻 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
