What 𘠉 means
A structural part, not a translated Tangut word.
Scholars use components to describe and find larger characters; 010 is a Unicode index label, not the component’s meaning.
The Tangut script spread around 1036 to write the Tangut language and served official, private, and religious texts. Western Xia period dictionaries used different radical systems; Tangut dictionaries use several.
A reference mark for scholarship and dictionary indexing.
