What 𗿦 means
It also means “female.” Tangut was the language of the Western Xia kingdom; 𗿦 is a written word in that script, not a picture or emoji.
A historical list of households records an adult wife's personal name ending with 𗿦.
Is 𗿦 a Chinese character?
No; it belongs to Tangut, a separate script. Tangut writing drew on Chinese visual principles but was made for a different language. Another regional power, the Khitan, had created scripts about a century earlier; scholars differ on how much that example influenced Tangut design.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗿦 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.

𗿦\17FE6Why is 𗿦 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
