What 𘜔 means
“Number” as a noun; a plural suffix after another noun.
Is 𘜔 a Chinese character?
No. Tangut is distinct, though Chinese writing inspired it.
Western Xia used the script for Buddhist and secular texts; the neighboring Khitan people had created scripts about a century earlier.
Under Yuan and Ming rule, Tangut became obsolete by Ming's end. Khara-Khoto ruins in Inner Mongolia yielded manuscripts; bilingual inscriptions also aided study. Rediscovered in the late 19th century, Tangut was largely deciphered in the early 20th. 1036 dates the script, not this glyph's first attestation. A box means the font lacks Tangut support.

1Why does 𘜔 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.
