What 𘖊 means
It is glossed “footmark” and contributes “leg” in a compound.
In 𘖊𘅙, it contributes the “leg” element to a Tangut word translated “footprint.” “Footmark” is a short reference gloss; it does not identify the intended word whenever the character appears alone.
Tangut writing was created by imperial decree for the Tangut language of Western Xia and used in state, Buddhist, legal, and literary texts. The broader script is attested from around 1036; the latest known Tangut inscription is dated 1502. Those dates describe the script's record, not this glyph's first appearance.
How do I type 𘖊?
Use a Unicode input method and a Tangut-capable font.
For repeated entry, use your operating system's Unicode input command and enter U1858A. If your system has no such command, look up the glyph or code point in a Tangut-aware dictionary.
Why does 𘖊 show as a box?
Your font may not include Tangut characters.
Unicode identifies the character; an installed font draws it. Noto Serif Tangut and BabelStone Tangut are Tangut-capable fonts, and their designs differ. A box or blank glyph signals missing font coverage, not a change to the encoded character.
Historical and specialist; it fits Tangut text or a clearly marked reference context.
A recipient without Tangut font coverage may see a missing-character box.

𘖊\1858AWhy is 𘖊 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
