What 𗈷 means
It means “to exercise evil influence” in Tangut.
The Tangut script was created around 1036 to help build the Western Xia state, write Buddhist texts, and translate works; surviving manuscripts include 12th- or early-13th-century texts.
Is 𗈷 Chinese?
No. It belongs to the distinct Tangut script.
Chinese writing influenced its forms; the Khitan script, used by another historical kingdom, offered a model for a state’s own writing system. After 1227, Tangut writing continued in religious texts.
