What 𗄉 means
It records the Middle Chinese sound of 席, not its meaning.
Middle Chinese is a historical stage of Chinese; 席 means “mat” or “seat.” Tangut is a separate script.
Created under the first Western Xia emperor around 1036 to write Tangut, the script served government, law, and Buddhist texts. It remained in use after the kingdom fell; the latest known inscription dates to 1502.
Historical Tangut writing, not a Chinese word.
Don’t replace 𗄉 with 席: it records an older sound, not the meaning.
