What 𘒌 means
𘒌 is glossed as “leopard.”
Scholars reconstruct its Tangut reading as mbọ. Tangut is an extinct language, so this is a scholarly reconstruction, not a pronunciation recorded from living speakers.
The Tangut script is a distinct writing system, separate from Chinese writing. It became Western Xia’s state script in 1036 for Tangut-language texts and for Buddhist works and Chinese texts translated into Tangut. The latest known Tangut inscription dates to 1502.

1Why does 𘒌 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.
