What 𘉼 means
It is a Tangut character meaning “to wrap around.”
Li Fanwen’s radical index places it at entry 1641, pairs it with the Chinese word 纏 (“to wrap around”), and lists a reconstructed Tangut reading. The reading is pronunciation information, not a translation. Without a font that covers Tangut, the character can appear as a box.
Tangut characters may resemble Chinese writing, but Tangut is a distinct script. It was used in official, private, and religious texts, continued through the Yuan and Ming dynasties, became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty, and was rediscovered in the late 19th century.
Historical and specialist, not conversational.
Do not treat 𘉼 as Chinese: it belongs to the distinct Tangut script.

1Why does 𘉼 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.
