What 𘗛 means

It is the Tangut character for “skeleton.”

Tangut dictionary data glosses 𘗛 as “skeleton” and lists 𗥛 (“bone”) as its parent character. That is a documented relationship between the entries, not a sign that the two can be used as interchangeable spellings.

A historical written character, chiefly encountered in Tangut texts and scholarship.

Why does 𘗛 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.
