What 𗺝 means
A kind of plant. This is a dictionary gloss, not a plant picture or an emoji, and it does not name one species. Tangut writing is also called Xixia script.
Xixia writing was promulgated in 1036 to write Tangut; its earliest surviving text is a 1072 official document. It took Chinese regular writing as a model but remained distinct. After Western Xia fell in 1227, it appeared in Yuan inscriptions and mid-Ming stone columns.
Fonts draw this text glyph, so its strokes can vary; without Tangut coverage, a font may show a missing-character box.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗺝 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.
