What 𗞬 means
It names one kind of tree. A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “a kind of tree”; that short gloss does not identify a species. This is a word in Tangut rather than a general tree sign.
Tangut writing was created for the Tangut language under Western Xia (Xixia) around 1036 CE. It appears in government, personal, and religious texts. After Western Xia fell to the Mongols, the script continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties before falling out of use.
Its square shape may bring Chinese writing to mind, but the script and word here are Tangut.
How do I type 𗞬?
Type remx in Xunpin.
Xunpin is a Tangut input schema for Rime, a keyboard input system. It also supports stroke entry with f and four-corner entry with v.
Why does 𗞬 show as a box?
Your font may not include a Tangut glyph.
Unicode can identify the character even when the font cannot draw it. Use a font with Tangut coverage; different font designs may draw it differently without changing which character it is.
A specialist historical word; add a gloss when your reader may not know Tangut.

1Why does 𗞬 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.
