What 𗃑 means
It is glossed as “crooked.”
Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut–Chinese dictionary glosses 𗃑 as “crooked,” meaning bent or not straight. Unicode’s label identifies the character by its code position; it does not translate it.
The Tangut script, also called the Xixia script, was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 to write the Tangut language. It appeared in official and private records, Buddhist texts, inscriptions and manuscripts, and stayed in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties before falling out of use. These dates describe the script’s history; they do not date 𗃑 individually.
How do I type 𗃑?
Use the Xunpin scheme for Rime.
Rime is an input-method framework; Xunpin is its Tangut stroke-entry scheme. After setting it up, press f to enter stroke mode, then type gdcgccq for 𗃑. This sequence works in Xunpin, not as a universal keyboard shortcut.
Typing and display are separate: a font without Tangut coverage shows a missing-glyph box even when the character is encoded correctly.

1Why does 𗃑 show as a box?
