What 𗦸 means
The Tangut dictionary gloss is “what.”
Tangut was the language of Western Xia, a historical state in what is now northwestern China.
Is 𗦸 Chinese?
No; it writes Tangut in a Chinese-inspired script.
Although Tangut characters use a square design associated with Chinese writing, Tangut is a separate language and script. The script was created around 1036 under Western Xia's first emperor for official and cultural use. After Mongols conquered Western Xia, Tangut writing continued during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, later Chinese ruling periods, before becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.

1Why does 𗦸 appear as a box?
A square usually means your font lacks a Tangut glyph. Try a font with Tangut coverage; the box marks missing character support, not the meaning of 𗦸.
