What 𘥦 means
It helps scholars organize and analyze whole Tangut characters.
The Tangut script, also called the Xixia script, was commissioned around 1036 for the Tangut language of Western Xia. It served government schools and official documents; surviving texts include Buddhist works and translations. It remained in use through 1502. These dates describe the script as a whole, not this component.
Is Tangut Component-359 a Chinese character?
No. It is a Tangut component, not a Chinese character.
The Tangut script was modeled on Chinese writing, but it records a different language. The scripts are separate: knowing how to read Chinese characters does not tell you how to read a Tangut character.
