What 𘁋 means
It means “tooth” in Tangut, a historical language written with this script. A Tangut dictionary gives entry 5624 that gloss. The Unicode name identifies the character; it does not translate it. Its written form combines 𘤘 on the left with 𘨰 on the right.
Why does 𘁋 look like a Chinese character?
It belongs to Tangut writing, not Chinese. Tangut writing entered use in 1036 for state and religious writing. It served official documents, Buddhist translations, manuscripts, and books printed from carved blocks. After the Western Xia state fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in religious and commemorative settings. The Baoding Buddhist pillars dated 1502 are the latest datable Tangut material.

1Why does 𘁋 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.
