What 𗪉 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “nephew.”
Is 𗪉 Chinese?
No. It belongs to the separate Tangut script.
Western Xia introduced Tangut for state use around 1036–37. Its forms drew on Chinese and neighboring Khitan writing while representing the Tangut language. After the kingdom fell in 1227, Buddhist and local communities continued writing Tangut; the latest known inscription dates to 1502.
Historical and specialized; its kinship sense depends on Tangut context.

1Why does 𗪉 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.
