What 𗧞 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “long.”
That is a short translation, not a complete sentence meaning; surrounding Tangut text settles the sense.
The Western Xia court ordered the Tangut script created in 1036. It supported state and cultural work, especially Buddhist texts, and expressed a distinct identity alongside Song China. A Khara-khoto manuscript, probably from the 12th or early 13th century, shows Tangut used for secular translation. Tangut writing drew on Chinese and neighboring Khitan scripts. The manuscript is a later example, not evidence of when this exact character first appeared.

1Why does 𗧞 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.
