What 𗟹 means
It is a Tangut character; its shape alone is not a translation.
Western Xia texts used Tangut writing for official and Buddhist works; a dictionary or surrounding sentence is needed for a word-level gloss.
Why does 𗟹 look different?
Font support can change its visible form.
Tangut texts preserve variant glyph shapes. Without a Tangut font, a screen may show a box or fallback glyph; the character itself is unchanged.

1Why does 𗟹 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.

𗟹\177F9Why is 𗟹 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
