tangut ideograph-17178

Tangut character 17178

377/6136

𗅸 is a character in the Tangut script; “Tangut Ideograph-17178” is an inventory label, not a translation of its meaning. The script was created around 1036 for the Western Xia kingdom and Buddhist-text translation. It drew on Chinese writing while remaining distinct, and continued in official, private, and religious texts through the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Why does 𗅸 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.
