What 𗳳 means
It is a Tangut verb: “to pad.”
Tangut was the language of Western Xia (Xixia), a state in northwest China. Its court established the script around 1036 for correspondence; in 1038 it formed a committee to translate Buddhist texts. Tangut writing appears in official, private, and religious works, and remained in use during China’s Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Its forms resemble Chinese writing, but the scripts are unrelated.

Why is 𗳳 a box on my screen?
Your font may lack Tangut coverage.
A box marks a missing glyph. Choose a font that supports Tangut.
