What 𗾨 means
The label identifies the character; it does not translate it.
The Unicode name “Tangut ideograph 17FA8” is a code label, not a gloss. A Tangut dictionary or the text containing 𗾨 can show its reading and meaning.
The Tangut script was created in 1036 for the Western Xia (Xixia) government and translation work, including Buddhist and Chinese texts. A manuscript fragment from Khara-khoto probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century. In the medieval Tangut period, writing included Buddhist and Confucian works, military texts, and literature. Chinese writing and Khitan script design influenced the script as a whole, not this glyph's reading.

1Why does 𗾨 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.
