What 𘙲 means
It means “long” in Tangut writing.
A Tangut Buddhist title is paired in an index with the Chinese title 長阿含經; 𘙲 supplies the title’s “long” element.
The Tangut script was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state, to support state-building and Buddhist translation and to set its written culture apart from the Song dynasty in China. This character is recorded in the 12th-century Sea of Characters, a Tangut dictionary; Tangut texts continued into the Yuan period. Unicode encoded 𘙲 in 2016.
A blank box usually means the active font lacks this Tangut character.
Chinese 長 shares the meaning “long” and a reported borrowing link; it cannot replace 𘙲.

1Why does 𘙲 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.
