What 𘟠 means
It is the Tangut verb for loving or liking. Scholars reconstruct its reading as one syllable, close to the “dz” at the end of “adze” followed by “oo”; tone marks vary by system.
Tangut writing was commissioned around 1036 for the language of the Western Xia kingdom. Chinese writing shaped its appearance, but Tangut was a separate script for another language. It served official and private texts, stone inscriptions, and Buddhist translations; an inscription in Tangut and Chinese at Liangzhou dates to 1094.
Its Unicode inventory name is derived from the code point; it is not a translation of the Tangut word.

1Why does 𘟠 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.
