What 𗚽 means
It continued after Western Xia fell.
Created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 CE, the script served official and Buddhist texts. It continued under Yuan and Ming rule after Western Xia fell, becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Rediscovered in the late 19th century, it was largely deciphered by N. A. Nevsky in the early 20th century.
Historical and specialist; it fits Tangut texts or discussion of the script.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗚽 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
