What 𘟐 means
It means “to hum”: to make a low, continuous sound. Tangut was the language written with this script.
The script was developed under the authority of the Western Xia state for official and cultural writing. Tangut books also survive in religious and scholarly settings; this character appears in surviving copies of Homophones, a Tangut pronunciation dictionary.
Why does Tangut look like Chinese?
Tangut is a separate script shaped by Chinese writing. Its characters use forms modeled on Chinese writing, but they record the Tangut language; this character's shape does not give it a Chinese reading.
Specialist and archival in tone; it fits Tangut study, historical typography, or a text that deliberately uses Tangut script.
Do not read its Chinese-like shape as a Chinese word.

1Why does 𘟐 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.
