What 𗇞 means
It is glossed in Tangut as “hole.” The Tangut script was designed for the Tangut language, and its forms were inspired by Chinese writing.
Western Xia rulers introduced the script in 1036 for government and Buddhist translation, building a written tradition distinct from the neighboring Song dynasty in China. Tangut writing also carried works translated from Chinese and Tibetan. Buddhist inscription pillars dated 1502 show the script remained in use long after Western Xia fell.
Why does 𗇞 appear as a box?
A box means the active font lacks Tangut coverage. The character is still present in the text; a compatible font is needed to draw it.

1Why does 𗇞 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.
