What 𗒝 means
It is glossed as “transliterated sound.” This Tangut transliteration term refers to a sound from another language rendered in writing.
The Tangut script was promulgated—officially introduced—for Western Xia in 1036. It served government writing, inscriptions, and Buddhist translations, and remained in use for later inscriptions. The earliest Tangut document with a secure date is from 1069 or 1070. Its compact, square forms were influenced by Chinese writing, but Tangut characters belong to a separate script.
A technical dictionary meaning from the historical Tangut writing tradition.
If 𗒝 appears as a square, your active font probably lacks Tangut glyph coverage.

1Why does 𗒝 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.
