What 𘙐 means
It marks contrastive focus. The scholarly transcription is wja1. It is grammatical, not the verb “to say”; in some constructions, one analysis compares it with Tibetan ན (“if”) or Sanskrit अपि (“also”), so translation depends on context.
Tangut writing was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state and its Buddhist canon. It follows Chinese character-making principles but writes Tangut, not Chinese; the earlier Khitan script shows another regional state creating its own writing. A Khara-Khoto manuscript probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century. Tangut texts include Buddhist, Chinese, Tibetan and secular works.

𘙐\18650Why is 𘙐 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.
