What 𘚩 means
Its Unicode label identifies the glyph, not a Tangut translation. Created in Western Xia around 1036, Tangut writing helped build the state and carry Buddhist scriptures.
It also carried private and official writing, including Chinese works translated into Tangut, and continued under the Yuan and Ming.
Its square forms can look Chinese, but Tangut is a distinct script. Without a Tangut-capable font, an app may show a blank or replacement box.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘚩 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.
