What 𗺧 means
The label gives a code-based name, not a Tangut gloss. It combines the script name and code point; it does not give this character's Tangut word or reading.
The script was developed for the Tangut language under the Western Xia state around 1036. After Western Xia fell, it remained in official, private, and religious texts into Yuan and Ming times; use ended by the end of the Ming dynasty.
Is 𗺧 Chinese?
No: it belongs to the Tangut script. Tangut writing was modeled on Chinese in appearance but records the Tangut language. The resemblance does not make 𗺧 a Chinese character.
Historical writing, not everyday chat.
A Tangut font is needed; without one, 𗺧 may appear as a box.

1Why does 𗺧 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.
