What 𗨻 means
It means “to become” in reconstructed Tangut.
A scholarly reconstruction writes its Tangut reading as vwi̱² and glosses it as “to become.” Tangut script was devised around 1036 as the Western Xia state’s writing system. An official Guazhou military record dated 1072 is the earliest transmitted Tangut document. Tangut writing continued after Western Xia fell; an inscription from 1502 is a later example.
Tangut script followed the square, character-based model of Chinese writing and the example of neighboring Khitan scripts, yet remained a distinct system.
Historical and specialist; use it in a discussion of Tangut or Western Xia writing.

1Why does 𗨻 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.
