What 𘖜 means
It is the Tangut word for a lock. This Tangut lock character belongs to an extinct language; it is a written word, not a picture of a padlock.
The Tangut script took shape around 1036–1037 for official writing, Buddhist translation and printing, and legal texts. It remained in use after the Western Xia kingdom fell; the latest known inscription—a text on an object—dates to 1502.
Historical and specialist: its lock meaning belongs to Tangut writing.
It is text, not a lock emoji; a font without Tangut coverage may show a missing-glyph box.

1Why does 𘖜 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.
