What 𗯘 means
The “to tread” gloss is a clue, not a firm translation.
One etymological proposal writes the Tangut word represented by 𗯘 in scholarly Latin letters as lo², glossed “to tread,” and links it tentatively with Chinese 道 (“way”). This is a word-history hypothesis, not a settled translation for 𗯘.

1Why does 𗯘 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.
