What 𘏓 means
No. 𘏓 belongs to a separate Tangut writing system.
Tangut signs drew on Chinese character-writing styles, but they belong to a separate system for another language. A Tangut-language preface to a 1190 bilingual dictionary from the Western Xia (Xixia) state says Tangut and Chinese scripts differ in form but share roots.
Why was Tangut writing created?
It gave Tangut rulers a distinct written identity.
The Western Xia court introduced the script in 1036, before the dynasty was formally founded. Tangut writing remained in use after the Xia fell.

1Why does 𘏓 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.
