What 𘇩 means
Its Tangut dictionary gloss is “old.”
The Tangut script emerged shortly before 1038 for the Western Xia kingdom’s official and cultural life. That included Buddhist religious texts translated from Chinese and Tibetan. The kingdom fell in 1227, but Tangut writing continued in religious settings; a later example dates to 1502.
Tangut pronunciation reconstructions disagree, so there is no single agreed reading for 𘇩. A font box for 𘇩 means the font lacks a glyph to display this character.

1Why does 𘇩 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.
