What 𗍅 means
Work, craft, or a worker.
Tangut dictionaries give senses including “work,” “to work,” “worker,” and “craftsman.” 𗋋𗍅 means “mud craftsman”; 𗌒𗍅 means “plaster worker.”
A 1113 inscription records repairs to a pagoda. Tangut writing began under Li Yuanhao in 1036 for Western Xia government and Buddhist translation; it drew on Chinese writing but is a distinct script.

1Why does 𗍅 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
