What 𗓃 means
𗓃 is a Tangut character; its Unicode name is only an ID.
Tangut was the language of Western Xia (Xixia), a state in northwestern China. Its script was created around 1036 under the state's first emperor to write Tangut. Chinese character structure served as a model, but Tangut is a separate script.
After the state fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in Buddhist texts and stone inscriptions. A set of Buddhist pillars dated 1502 shows the script in use centuries later.

𗓃\174C3Why is 𗓃 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.
