What 𗣘 means
A dictionary or the surrounding text can reveal its word.
Unicode's chart labels it L2008-2188 and files it under 𘢌, a Tangut dictionary radical; neither is a translation.
Tangut writing arose in the Western Xia state around 1036–1037; its earliest surviving document dates to 1072.
Is 𗣘 Chinese?
No; it belongs to the Tangut script.
The glyph may resemble Chinese writing, but Tangut is a separate script; knowing Chinese does not make Tangut text readable.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗣘 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.
