What 𗂊 means
It is a Tangut character with context-dependent glosses.
A Tangut dictionary pairs it with Chinese 反: “reverse,” “return,” or “oppose.” The surrounding sentence determines which gloss fits.
The Western Xia kingdom created Tangut writing around 1036 for the Tangut language. 𗂊 appears in 12th-century reference works; the script remained in use during the Yuan and Ming periods, with a 1502 inscription among the latest evidence for its use.
Is 𗂊 a Chinese character?
No.
Tangut was designed in a Chinese-inspired style, but it is a separate script for another language; resemblance alone cannot supply a Chinese reading.
A historical lexical character whose dictionary gloss depends on context.
