What 𗇅 means
It means “narrow” in Tangut.
The Western Xia state created Tangut writing in 1036 for government use and translation of Buddhist and Chinese works. The 12th-century Wénhǎi, a Tangut rhyming dictionary, cites 𗇅.
Tangut was visually inspired by Chinese writing but records the now-extinct Tangut language.

1Why does 𗇅 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.
