Tangut Character 17436

1079/6136

𗐶 is a Tangut character; its numbered Unicode label does not tell you its Tangut word or pronunciation. Tangut writing emerged in the Western Xia state in the eleventh century for official, literary, and Buddhist texts, following earlier examples of Khitan state writing. It resembles Chinese writing but is a distinct script. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut remained in use under later dynasties before becoming obsolete.

Why does 𗐶 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.
