What 𗥆 means
A wood stump or a piece of firewood. A Tangut dictionary also gives the reconstructed reading *mjijr and pairs the character with Chinese 榾, glossed as a stump or wood used for fuel. The asterisk marks a scholarly reconstruction, not a modern pronunciation.
Western Xia's first emperor, Li Yuanhao, commissioned Tangut writing around 1036. It stayed in use after Western Xia fell, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. In a Khara-Khoto grain-loan contract dated 1194, 𗥆 appears in a party's name and a stamp bearing that name.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗥆 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.
