What 𗧽 means
It's a Tangut character; its dictionary cross-reference is not a definition. The index pairs it with a reconstructed reading, transcribed in Latin letters as tsowr, and with Chinese character 伉. These point to the entry; neither is another form of 𗧽.
The Tangut script was created around 1036 for Western Xia state-building and Buddhist texts, following the Khitan precedent for a distinct state script. A surviving manuscript fragment from Khara-khoto dates to the 12th or early 13th century.
Tangut remained in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties; its latest known inscription dates to 1502. That date marks the script's survival, not this character's origin.
By itself, it reads as a niche Tangut reference or font test; context has to supply the sender's intent.
A dictionary cross-reference isn't a translation.

1Why does 𗧽 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.
