What 𗿺 means

It means the verb “to smoke out,” not the noun “smoke.” Unicode’s constructed name identifies the code point; it does not give the Tangut word’s meaning or pronunciation.

Tangut, also called Xixia, is a historical script for the Tangut language, once spoken in northwestern China. It was created in 1036 under Li Yuanhao, ruler of Western Xia, to support state-building and compile a Tangut edition of the Buddhist canon, a collection of scriptures. The script was distinct from Chinese writing but inspired by it; Tangut creators also followed their Khitan neighbors, who had made two scripts a century earlier. Surviving texts include Buddhist scriptures, Chinese works, translations from Tibetan, military treatises, and literature. This dates the script, not 𗿺.

Historical and specialist.

Without context, don’t assume the recipient knows this Tangut gloss.

Why does 𗿺 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.
