What 𗿹 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “crow.”
Unicode's label is generated from the code point; a Tangut dictionary supplies the word “crow.”
Tangut writing began around 1036 for the official and cultural life of the Western Xia state, also called Xixia. It later served private and religious texts, continued through the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.

1Why does 𗿹 show as a square?
A font without Tangut coverage may show a missing-glyph box instead. That is a display failure, not a different character.
