What 𘊟 means
It means “silver” in Tangut.
Tangut scholar Li Fanwen’s 2008 dictionary lists 𘊟 as “silver,” entry 3572. A Buddhist text uses 𘂲𘊟 for “white silver.”
𘊟 also forms part of 𗵧 (“ingot”), analyzed with gold 𗵒 and “round” 𗣒. The Tangut-led Western Xia state created its script in 1036 under ruler Li Yuanhao for state-building and a Buddhist canon. Inspired by Chinese writing and Khitan scripts, it remained distinct and served Tangut. The earliest surviving Tangut document dates to 1072. Surviving Tangut texts also include secular works translated from Chinese.
It is a historical Tangut word; as a standalone message, it leaves the sender’s point unclear.

1Why does 𘊟 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.
