It is a Tangut character, not a Chinese character or emoji.
Tangut glyphs drew on Chinese writing and the script of the neighboring Khitan people, but they record a distinct language. Surviving Tangut texts include Buddhist, Confucian, military, and medical works. A Tangut-capable font is needed to display this glyph; without one, it may appear as a missing-character box.
