What 𘅒 means
It means “forehead” in Tangut. This Tangut character belongs to a distinct script whose forms can resemble Chinese writing.
In 1036, Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao commissioned the script for state use and a Buddhist canon. Surviving texts from the mid-11th century include Buddhist works, translations, law codes, and secular writing.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘅒 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.

𘅒\18152Why is 𘅒 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
