What 𗺼 means
The dictionary gives a reading, not an English definition.
A Tangut–Chinese dictionary indexes 𗺼 as L2446 and gives pạ² as its reading. L2446 is a lookup number; the Unicode label is an identifier, not a translation.
The script was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 CE to write the state’s Tangut language. It appears in official, private, and religious texts. It outlasted Western Xia, remaining in use through Yuan and Ming rule until obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty; it was rediscovered in the late 19th century.
For Tangut study and historical texts.
Tangut can resemble Chinese ideographs, but it is a separate script; 𗺼 is not Chinese writing.

1Why does 𗺼 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.
