What 𘂢 means
Its dictionary gloss is “ghost.”
The Tangut script was used to write the Tangut language. It was promulgated in 1036 to support the Western Xia state, including official relations and translations of Chinese classics and Buddhist scriptures. Western Xia is also called Xixia. A Tangut manuscript found at Khara-khoto, a medieval site, probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century. Tangut writing continued under the Yuan dynasty after Western Xia. Tangut writing drew inspiration from Chinese writing but was not derived from it; knowing Chinese does not let someone read Tangut.
This glyph is text drawn by a font, so its display depends on Tangut font support; without it, the character may not render correctly.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘂢 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.
