What 𘄔 means
One Tangut reconstruction reads it as ²pen₂.
That spelling represents a reconstructed sound, not an English translation.
Is 𘄔 Chinese?
No: it is a Tangut character.
Tangut writing takes visual and structural cues from Chinese characters, but records the Tangut language. Chinese influence explains the style; it does not make the text Chinese.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘄔 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
