tangut ideograph-18003

Tangut Character for Snake

4100/6136

𘀃 means “snake” in Li Fanwen’s Tangut–Chinese dictionary. Tangut, Western Xia’s language, adopted a script in 1036; accounts credit Li Yuanhao as founder and Yeli Renrong as developer, and its earliest surviving text may date to 1070/71. The script marked state identity, enabled Buddhist translations, drew on Chinese writing without copying its characters, and followed earlier Khitan scripts. Buddhist texts survived Western Xia’s fall in 1227; a Tangut inscription dates to 1502.

Why does 𘀃 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.
