What 𗡨 means

Its dictionary gloss is the action of giving aid.

Li Fanwen’s index places the Tangut character for help, 𗡨, under L2008-0561. Unicode’s numeric name identifies the encoded character, not its translation. Three documented Tangut components build 𗡨; their shapes do not translate the word.

Why does 𗡨 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.
