What 𗾵 means
Tangut glosses it as “minced meat.”
Tangut was the language of medieval Western Xia. Ruler Li Yuanhao ordered its script in 1036 for state-building and likely to translate the Buddhist canon, a collection of Buddhist scriptures. An undated Tangut manuscript from Khara-khoto in Inner Mongolia probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century; a Tangut inscription is dated 1502.
A Tangut input method can search by a scholarly reconstruction of the pronunciation, by stroke sequence, or by a four-corner code based on the glyph’s shape.

1Why does 𗾵 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.
