What 𗺒 means
It means a lintel: the horizontal beam above a doorway.
A Tangut dictionary entry, numbered 2591, glosses 𗺒 as “lintel (over a door).” Tangut writing can resemble Chinese characters visually, but it records the distinct Tangut language.
Tangut writing began in the Western Xia period and served official, private, and religious writing. It continued through the Yuan and Ming periods, then became obsolete. Reference shapes can vary across Tangut sources, and a font without Tangut coverage may show a missing-glyph box.
Historical and scholarly; it reads as a Tangut character, not conversational shorthand.
Is 𗺒 Chinese? No: its Chinese-like style belongs to the separate Tangut script.

1Why does 𗺒 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.
