What 𗓧 means
It is a Tangut character, but Unicode gives no word-level gloss.
Tangut is a historical script used to write the Tangut language. Unicode's Tangut source data links 𗓧 to entry 4938 in Li Fanwen's 2008 Tangut dictionary; that number identifies a dictionary entry, not an English translation.
After the Mongols conquered Western Xia in 1227, Tangut writing continued and later became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Following its rediscovery in the late 19th century, Tangut became a subject of modern scholarship.
What does 𗓧 mean in a message?
The Unicode name identifies the character, not the Tangut word.

Questions people ask
2Why does Tangut look Chinese?
Tangut writing was modeled on Chinese writing conventions, but it records a different language. Knowing Chinese does not make a Tangut text readable from resemblance alone.
Why is 𗓧 showing as a square?
Your font lacks this Tangut glyph. Choose a font that supports Tangut; the square is a rendering problem, not a different character.
