What 𗹵 means
It is a Tangut character with a dictionary link to “unsightly.” An index places it beside the Chinese character 儖; a Chinese dictionary explains 儖 through 儖儳, a word for an ugly or unsightly appearance. This is a dictionary bridge, not proof that 𗹵 means “ugly” in every context.
The Tangut script was introduced in 1036 under Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao as part of state-building and plans for a Tangut collection of Buddhist scriptures. It was used for Buddhist texts, translated Chinese works, and other books. Its forms drew on Chinese writing, but Tangut was a distinct script, not Chinese characters. A catalog of Tangut Buddhist books also records 𗹵 in text titles.
How do I type 𗹵?
Use a Tangut input method for regular typing. Rime xunpin is one documented option for entering Tangut text.
Why is 𗹵 missing or wrong?
A font must include Tangut characters to display this one. Without that coverage, an app may show a blank box or a fallback glyph. The character's identity in the text stays the same; the font controls how it looks.

“Unsightly” is a dictionary gloss, not a ready-made insult.

1Why does 𗹵 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.
