What 𗥏 means
The Tangut entry glosses 𗥏 in English as “dumbness.”
A gloss is a short dictionary translation. Here it identifies a Tangut-language entry; the meaning is not read directly from the character’s strokes.
Why does 𗥏 look Chinese?
It belongs to Tangut, a separate script with Chinese-like forms.
The Tangut writing system was created under the first emperor of the Western Xia state about 1036 CE for official and cultural work. Surviving texts include government records, private writing, and Buddhist texts such as sutras. The script continued through the Yuan and Ming dynasties after Western Xia fell, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
This is a historical, specialist character; identify it as Tangut when discussing it.
Its Chinese-like form does not make it a Chinese character.

1Why does 𗥏 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.
