What 𘁁 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses this word as “to cut out.”
Tangut writing drew on Chinese and Khitan models. The Western Xia (Xixia) state standardized it for government in 1036; the script was also used for Buddhist and Chinese translations.
After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in manuscripts and print, especially for Buddhist material.
A historical Tangut word, suited to discussion of Tangut writing and Western Xia.
Without Tangut context, “to cut out” is only a fragmentary gloss, not a clear message.

1Why does 𘁁 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.
