What 𗴰 means
The dictionary gloss is “a transliteration.”
The Tangut-English dictionary index glosses the entry for 𗴰 as “a transliteration.” That gloss names the Tangut word’s meaning; it is not an instruction to use 𗴰 as a general sound sign.
Created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor, Tangut was made to write its own language. After Western Xia fell, the script remained in use during Yuan and Ming rule; it was obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.

1Why does 𗴰 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.
