What 𗦽 means
It means “baby” in Tangut.
Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut–Chinese dictionary lists it as entry 3618; the gloss is not a general baby symbol.
Western Xia (Xixia), a medieval state in northwestern China, introduced the Tangut script around 1036 under ruler Li Yuanhao. It wrote Tangut, a distinct language, for state and Buddhist texts. Its design drew on Chinese writing; possible influence from nearby Khitan scripts is debated.
Why might 𗦽 display differently?
Fonts can change its appearance.
Unicode 17.0.0 records Tangut glyph variants, including one for 𗦽. Fonts without Tangut support may show a missing-glyph box; neither display changes the character.

1Why does 𗦽 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.
