What 𗻳 means
𗻳 is a Tangut character indexed beside the Chinese character 揣. The index labels the Tangut entry LFW 3375. Here 揣 is a gloss for “guess” or “estimate”; it helps translate the entry but is not another form of 𗻳.
In 1036, Emperor Li Yuanhao ordered the script for the Tangut state and a Buddhist canon, a collection of Buddhist writings. Its designers drew on Chinese writing principles; an earlier Khitan script project provided a model. After the Mongol conquest, it left daily use; surviving texts include Buddhist works and Chinese translations.
Historical and specialist; this character points to Tangut writing.
Is 𗻳 Chinese? No. 揣 is the Chinese dictionary gloss, not a substitute for this Tangut character.

1Why does 𗻳 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.
