What 𗆧 means
It means “new” in Tangut.
The Tangut word for “new” appears in two 12th-century dictionaries, Sea of Writing and Homophones. A 2013 study reads 𗤊𗆧 as “new year [month].”
Tangut script was created around 1036 as the Western Xia state’s official writing system for the Tangut language and for translating Chinese classics. A 2018 study of a Tangut Buddhist translation documents reinterpretation of Chinese wording.
Historical and scholarly; in a chat, it reads as a niche reference to Tangut.
Its Chinese-like strokes do not make it Chinese writing.

1Why does 𗆧 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.
