What 𘉖 means
On its own, 𘉖 is glossed “bedding.” An English index to a Tangut dictionary groups it under that meaning; the gloss applies to the standalone character.
The Tangut script was created as a state project under Western Xia’s first emperor about 1036 CE. Tangut texts included translations of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhist texts, as well as Chinese classics. The script remained in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete.
Historical and specialist: this character belongs in discussions of Tangut texts.
Tangut is a separate script; its Chinese-like structure does not make it Chinese.

1Why does 𘉖 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.
