𗶎

tangut ideograph-17d8e

Tangut character

𗶎 is a Tangut text character, not an emoji, from the writing system used for the Tangut language in Western Xia. Created in the 11th-century, the script served state records, literature and Buddhist translations from Chinese and Tibetan, including woodblock-printed texts; it remained in use after Western Xia fell in 1227. Its Unicode label gives no translation or pronunciation. If it appears as a box, your font lacks the glyph.

Why does 𗶎 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.
