What 𘁧 means
It is glossed “to become thin” in Tangut.
The Tangut script entered use around 1036–1037 under Western Xia, a state ruled by the Tangut people. It drew on Chinese and Khitan writing traditions and was used for state records, Buddhist translations, legal texts, and other books.
After Western Xia fell, Tangut writing continued; the latest known inscription is dated 1502. Tangut is a distinct script and language, not Chinese. If 𘁧 appears as a blank box, the font lacks its Tangut glyph.
Historical and specialized; 𘁧 is best read as a Tangut word in historical text.

1Why does 𘁧 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.
