What 𗷎 means
It marks separation: setting one thing apart.
Historical dictionaries translate it as “separate,” “distinguish,” or “divide.”
Western Xia used Tangut writing for government and culture. A documented example appears on page 8A of Tangut Homonyms, a wordbook whose closing note is dated 1188; a surviving copy surfaced at auction in 2014. A comparison also links its “separate” sense to a word in the Gyalrongic languages, another language group. That compares vocabulary, not scripts.

1Why does 𗷎 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.
