What 𗗿 means
Its Tangut gloss is “dog.” Tangut was a historical language written in a script also called Xixia.
Created around 1036 as the state script of the Western Xia kingdom, Tangut writing remained in use through the Yuan and Ming periods and became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
Can 𗗿 mean “puppy”?
Yes: 𗃞𗗿 is an attested Tangut compound meaning “puppy.”
Unicode 16.0.0 notes font-dependent Tangut glyph variants; on a device whose selected font lacks Tangut support, the character may appear as a box or fallback glyph.
Is 𗗿 a Chinese character?
No. It belongs to the separate Tangut writing system. Its compact strokes may look like Chinese characters, but visual resemblance does not make it Chinese writing.

1Why does 𗗿 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.
