What 𗭢 means
A Tangut dictionary index glosses it as “to support.” Scholars reconstruct its Tangut reading as tśhjwiw, a Latin-letter scholarly notation for an older pronunciation.
Western Xia established Tangut writing for state use. It served administration, dictionaries, Buddhist texts and translations; its characters are built from written components rather than pictures.
Tangut writing continued in manuscripts after Western Xia fell, so 𗭢 belongs to a historical written language.
What does it mean when someone sends 𗭢?
A lone send is Tangut text; its intent needs context.
Tangut writing was inspired by Chinese characters, but it is a separate script whose characters cannot be read as Chinese. If 𗭢 appears as a missing-glyph box, the font lacks Tangut coverage; the character itself has not changed.
Historical and specialist: this glyph belongs to Tangut writing, research or deliberate Unicode display.

1Why does 𗭢 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.
