What 𗸟 means
The Tangut text around it is needed to identify its reading.
The script was created around 1036 CE for Western Xia, and used for Buddhist translations, official records, legal texts, and law codes.
Manuscripts survive from the mid-11th century; Tangut writing continued under Yuan and Ming rule, with inscriptions known as late as 1502. Chinese and Khitan writing influenced the script, but 𗸟 is not a Chinese character.
Historical writing chiefly encountered in scholarship; a box may mean the font lacks Tangut coverage.
Is 𗸟 Chinese? No; it is a Tangut character.

1Why does 𗸟 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.
