What 𘅹 means
It is a Tangut character for “west.” Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut–Chinese dictionary lists it as entry #0877; an English index maps #0877 to “west.” The number in the Unicode label identifies the character; it is not a translation.
Tangut script was promulgated in 1036 for the Western Xia state. It followed the model of Chinese regular script, a standard style for writing Chinese characters, but was a separate system for writing Tangut. Tangut writing continued into the mid-Ming period, after Western Xia ended.

1Why does 𘅹 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.
