What 𗺷 means

One Tangut word containing it is translated as “broom.”

In a Tangut account of the Buddhist teacher Atiśa, the word appears as 𗺷𗺪. The passage translates the pair as a whole.

Created around 1036 under the ruler who became Western Xia’s first emperor, the Tangut script gave the Tangut language a written form for a state in northwestern China. Its square characters draw on Chinese-character structure but write another language. Tangut writing served government and Buddhist literature, including translations.

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.
