What 𗵂 means
It is an identifier, not a Tangut word.
Unicode names Tangut characters by prefixing each code point with “TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-”.
Is 𗵂 a Chinese character?
No. It belongs to a separate script for the Tangut language.
Chinese writing inspired Tangut’s structure, but the scripts are distinct. Western Xia’s rulers followed their northern neighbors, the Khitans, in creating a state script; using Tangut marked political independence.
Why does 𗵂 show as a box?
Your font may lack Tangut coverage.
𗵂 is plain text, not emoji artwork, so the font in your app or document draws it. If you see a box, try a font that supports Tangut.

1Why does 𗵂 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.
