What 𘒻 means
Its dictionary gloss is “old.”
A 2008 Tangut dictionary by Li Fanwen lists 𘒻 as entry 0769 under the English gloss “old.”
Tangut writing has Chinese-style forms but is a separate script for the Tangut language. It was created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor, remained in use after that state fell, and was obsolete by the end of China’s Ming dynasty.
Why does 𘒻 show as a box?
A font needs Tangut coverage to draw it.
If the selected font lacks this character, you may see an empty box or a fallback glyph even though the text still contains 𘒻.

1Why does 𘒻 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.
