What 𗉜 means
In Tangut, it means “to contend” or “dispute.”
A scholarly reconstruction writes its reading as *dze̱j¹; the asterisk marks a reconstructed historical form. A Tangut legal phrase uses it in a sequence translated as “pursuit and contest in rhetorical entanglements”; surrounding words set the legal context.

Why does 𗉜 look Chinese?
Tangut is a distinct script shaped by a Chinese-influenced visual model.
Historical accounts date Tangut script’s introduction by imperial decree to 1036. In the Western Xia state, schools taught Tangut, officials used it in documents, and Buddhist works were translated and printed in it. After the state fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in religious use; a known Tangut monument dates to 1502.
Tangut is a writing system for the Tangut language. Its Chinese-like forms are not Chinese characters, so shape alone cannot tell you how to read 𗉜.
Historical and specialist: it belongs in discussions of Tangut language, manuscripts, and script study.
Chinese 争 is a linguistic relative, not a replacement for Tangut 𗉜.
