What 𗮟 means
Enemy or rival. A Tangut dictionary glosses 𗮟 as “enemy” or “rival.” It is a word, not a picture.
Tangut script served Western Xia government and Buddhist text translation. It was created around 1036; Tangut texts continued through 1502.
Why does 𗮟 show as a box?
A font without Tangut support can hide it. An app may show an empty box even when the text contains 𗮟.
𗮟 belongs to Tangut, a script distinct from Chinese despite some visual resemblance.
Historical and specialist; alone, it reads as Tangut text.
If its meaning matters, gloss it as “enemy” or “rival.”

1Why does 𗮟 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.
