What 𗜐 means
It means “fire” in Tangut. Tangut was the language of Western Xia, a kingdom in present-day northwestern China. Its script served government, diplomacy, Buddhist translation, and printing from 1036.
Tangut writing continued after Western Xia fell; the latest known text dates to 1502, not specifically to this character.
Why does 𗜐 look like a box?
The font may lack Tangut support. A Tangut-capable font draws the character, and different fonts can give it different shapes.
Historical writing, not routine conversation.
Without Tangut support, a recipient may not be able to read it.

1Why does 𗜐 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.
