What 𘊭 means
The English gloss is “line.”
Is 𘊭 Chinese?
No. It is a Tangut/Xixia character.
Tangut is a language distinct from Chinese, even though its script drew inspiration from Chinese writing. The script was devised in 1036 for the Western Xia state and followed an earlier script-making project by the Khitan, another historical people in the region. It served government and Buddhist translation; Tangut religious manuscripts are attested as late as 1502.
Historical and specialist; this belongs in Tangut texts, not everyday chat.

1Why does 𘊭 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.
