What 𘕃 means
Treat it as a subsidiary dictionary sign. Clauson’s index calls it 92A; catalogues also use L3858. Editorial notes place it among subsidiary characters, a group mostly made up of gloss signs—short explanations—attested in the Homophones, a Tangut dictionary.
The Tangut script was created under Western Xia’s first emperor about 1036 CE. It remained in use in Buddhist, legal and dictionary texts into the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

1Why does 𘕃 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.
