What 𗋏 means
It is a Tangut word for an unspecified kind of food.
A Tangut dictionary entry numbered 3035 glosses it only as “a kind of food.” The gloss leaves the food unspecified, so the character cannot identify a dish on its own.
What was Tangut writing used for?
It served the Western Xia state, Buddhist writing, and other works.
Tangut writing was created in 1036 to serve the medieval Western Xia state, a Tangut kingdom, and its Buddhist canon, the collection of Buddhist scriptures. Writers also used it for translations from Chinese and Tibetan, Confucian works, military texts, and literature. Its forms drew on Chinese writing and neighboring Khitan state scripts, while serving as a distinct writing system for Tangut.
Manuscripts from the Khara-Khoto ruins include material from the 12th and early 13th centuries. Tangut Buddhist texts continued after Western Xia fell in 1227, into the Yuan period.

1Why does 𗋏 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.
