What 𗎤 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses 𗎤 as “to collapse.”
Created in 1036 for Western Xia, a regional state, Tangut drew on Chinese writing and the neighboring Khitan state's earlier script-making model. It served government and Buddhist texts, including Chinese works translated into Tangut. A Khara-khoto manuscript fragment probably dates from the 12th or early 13th century; a later inscription is dated 1502. These dates trace the script, not this glyph's first use.

1Why does 𗎤 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.
