What 𗐉 means
It is a Tangut character whose dictionary gloss is “hair.” Here, “hair” is the English meaning, not a pronunciation.
Tangut was the language of Western Xia, a state in what is now northwestern China. Known as the Xixia script, Tangut writing was commissioned around 1036 for administration, diplomacy, and Buddhist books. The writing continued after Western Xia fell in 1227; the last known dated Tangut example is from 1502.
Why does 𗐉 show as a box?
A font without Tangut coverage is usually the cause. If the active font lacks the glyph, your browser or app may show a box, leave a blank, or use a fallback glyph.
Historical and specialist; its dictionary gloss names a Tangut word for “hair.”
Is 𗐉 Chinese? No. Tangut resembles Chinese writing, but it is a different script; the resemblance does not make this character readable as Chinese.

1Why does 𗐉 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.
