What 𗦀 means
Its dictionary gloss is “coal.”
Wenhai (“Sea of Writing”), a Tangut dictionary, gives this gloss. Tangut served as the Western Xia state's writing system in official, legal, private, and Buddhist texts; Buddhist works kept it in use after the state fell. Its square characters can resemble Chinese writing, but the two scripts are distinct.
A historical character for reading Tangut texts and dictionaries.
A box usually signals a missing Tangut glyph in the font, not a different reading.

1Why does 𗦀 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.
