What 𘂲 means
Tangut dictionaries gloss it as “silver.”
Tangut writing began around 1036 under Western Xia and recorded the Tangut language in schools, government, diplomacy, and Buddhist translations from Chinese and Tibetan.
Chinese and Khitan writing traditions influenced Tangut. After Western Xia fell, Tangut writing continued under Yuan and Ming rule in official, private, and religious texts; the latest known inscription dates to 1502.
why can 𘂲 look different across fonts?
Fonts can alter the strokes, not the encoded character. Unicode materials document variant Tangut glyphs and reconstructed components.
A historical-script character for texts and script discussion.
A lone message does not prove the sender means “silver.”

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘂲 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.
