What 𘜫 means
A Tangut dictionary translates it as “deep.”
𘜫 belongs to Tangut, the script used to write the language of the Western Xia (Xixia) state. Introduced in 1036, it drew on Chinese-style character construction and followed the neighboring Khitan example of an official state script.
Tangut writing served government, Buddhist texts, and translations from Chinese. A Tangut manuscript from the Khara-Khoto site probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century and includes this character; Tangut writing continued into 1502.
Historical and specialist: it signals interest in the Tangut language, script, or Unicode.
It is a Tangut text character, not an emoji; use it for Tangut writing or script-related discussion.

1Why does 𘜫 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.
