What 𘝭 means
Tangut dictionaries gloss 𘝭 as “branch.” One index records its reconstructed reading in Latin letters as śjwa, a scholarly reference form.
The Tangut script emerged in 1036 for the Western Xia state. By 1038, a committee was translating Buddhist sutras into Tangut. Later texts covered Confucian teaching, military topics, reference works and literature. The gloss remains “branch”; the script moved from state use into historical study and digital text.

1Why does 𘝭 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.
