Tangut Character 𗮴

𗮴 is a Tangut (Xixia) character; its Unicode label is only an inventory tag, not a translation. The Western Xia emperor commissioned the script for the Tangut language around 1036; later it appears in Chinese-to-Tangut translations, Buddhist texts, manuscripts, and printed books, with use attested through 1502. Chinese writing influenced the script's design; 𗮴 is Tangut, not Chinese, and its shape does not reveal its meaning.

Why does 𗮴 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.
