What 𘎡 means
Its Tangut dictionary gloss is “sweet smell.”
A 2008 Tangut-Chinese dictionary by Li Fanwen lists it under entry L5668 and gives the English gloss “sweet smell.” That short gloss is the supported clue to its meaning.
The Tangut script was established by imperial decree in 1036 to write Tangut, a now-extinct language, and support Western Xia state-building. It appeared in official records, Buddhist translations, and other literature. People continued writing Tangut after Western Xia fell in 1227, including in later religious inscriptions; the last known examples are dated 1502.
What does it mean when someone sends 𘎡?
Alone, it needs context to show why it was sent.
If the sender chose it for its dictionary entry, the clue is the “sweet smell” gloss; otherwise, ask what Tangut text or display they mean.
The Tangut-Chinese script relationship is historical and visual: Tangut drew on Chinese writing, but it is a separate system. Similar-looking forms or components do not give 𘎡 a Chinese reading or translation.
Historical and specialist; a brief gloss or context helps when sharing it with readers unfamiliar with Tangut.
An empty square usually means a missing Tangut font, not another reading.

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.
