What 𗎳 means
It means “intestine” or “bowel” in Tangut.
Tangut was the language of the Western Xia state. In 1036, ruler Li Yuanhao introduced its script for state identity and Buddhist scripture. Its design drew on the neighboring Khitan state's models and Chinese writing principles, but was not derived from Chinese. Tangut texts carried translations, law, and literature. A Khara-Khoto manuscript probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century; the Juyong Pass monument commissioned in 1342–1345 bears Tangut inscriptions.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗎳 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.

𗎳\173B3Why is 𗎳 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
