What 𗷕 means
Unicode's name identifies the glyph; it is not a translation.
To find the word or reading 𗷕 represents, you need a Tangut dictionary entry or the surrounding text.
Why does Tangut writing resemble Chinese characters?
It borrows their structure while writing another language.
Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao ordered an original script for Tangut. In 1036, the court made Tangut an official language.
The script uses structures influenced by Chinese writing, but it writes Tangut. Surviving texts include Tangut translations of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhist works and Chinese classics.

1Why does 𗷕 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.
