What 𗮾 means
The Unicode name identifies the character, not its word. The name comes from the code point, the number Unicode assigns this character. A Tangut dictionary and the surrounding sentence give its meaning.
Is 𗮾 a Chinese character?
No; it belongs to the separate Tangut script. Tangut characters resemble Chinese ideographs, but the writing systems are unrelated.
Western Xia was a state in northwestern China; its first emperor had the Tangut script created for its language around 1036 CE. It served official, private, and Buddhist texts. Tangut writing continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties and became obsolete by the end of the Ming.

1Why does 𗮾 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.
