What 𗸘 means
Its Unicode name is a catalog label, not a dictionary gloss.
The Tangut script was created around 1036 CE for Western Xia state-building and a Buddhist canon, a collection of Buddhist scriptures. That date belongs to the script, not to this individual character. Under the Yuan and Ming, Tangut writing carried translations of Chinese works, official records, and secular texts.
“Is 𗸘 Chinese?” No: Tangut resembles Chinese writing, but it is a separate script.

1Why does 𗸘 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.
