What 𗮇 means
No. It is a written Tangut word, not a picture. Tangut writing uses square characters that resemble Chinese but record a different language in a separate script. A single historical word gives you its dictionary sense, not the sender’s reason for choosing it.
This historical word describes a coercive act, not decoration.
It means face tattooing as punishment; don't use it as a neutral tattoo symbol.

1Why does 𗮇 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.
