What 𗸀 means
The code-point label doesn’t give its Tangut reading or word meaning.
The Tangut language was written with a logographic script: its characters represented words or meaningful parts of words. Tangut is distinct from Chinese.
Emperor Li Yuanhao commissioned the script for state-building and Buddhist scriptures. It drew on Chinese writing but was not derived from it; neighboring Khitan peoples had made two scripts about a century earlier. Tangut writing continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties after Western Xia fell.

1Why does 𗸀 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.
