What 𗀻 means
It names a traditional length measure.
In Chinese, the corresponding measure is written 寸; 𗀻 is its Tangut counterpart, not a Chinese character. “Inch” is only an English gloss, not an exact modern conversion.
Tangut writing served Western Xia from around 1036 in government and Buddhist texts. The last known Tangut writing is dated 1502.
Historical measure; “inch” is a loose English gloss.
A bare 𗀻 gives no exact modern inch length.
