What 𘀡 means
𘀡 is a Tangut connector for “then” or “thereupon.” A Tangut dictionary reconstructs its reading as tha (a scholarly Latin transcription) and glosses it with Classical Chinese 爰. In older written Chinese, 爰 can mean “then” or “thereupon,” or open a sentence as a particle. This is a meaning link, not the same glyph or a Chinese origin.
Tangut writing was created for the Western Xia state about 1036 as an official script for government, private, and Buddhist texts. After the state fell in 1227, it remained in use into the Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete. Bilingual inscriptions and manuscripts from Khara-Khoto later helped scholars read it again.

1Why does 𘀡 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.
