What 𗢻 means
It represents a Tangut word glossed as a surname. That is a dictionary gloss; the square strokes themselves do not reveal it. Tangut and Chinese are distinct writing systems, so the character's shape does not provide a Chinese reading.
The Tangut script was created by imperial decree for the Western Xia state, giving it a writing system distinct from Chinese. It appears in Buddhist scriptures, works on Confucian teaching, encyclopedias, military treatises, and literature. It was used from 1036–1502; Buddhist texts continued after Western Xia fell in 1227.
Why does this Tangut character look like a blank box?
Your font may lack Tangut glyph support. If the selected font cannot draw Tangut characters, the device may show a missing-glyph box or a substitute instead. A font with Tangut coverage changes the display, not the character itself.

1Why does 𗢻 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.
