How did Tangut writing outlive Western Xia?
The script survived the Western Xia state.
The court standardized it around 1036; its earliest surviving example is an official document from 1072. Tangut writing served Buddhist texts and translations. In 1307, the Yuan published a 3,620-chapter Buddhist canon in Tangut. Use continued into the second decade of the 14th century; the language was effectively dead by the late 1330s.

1Is 𗍑 Chinese?
No. It is Tangut. Tangut writing drew on Chinese and Khitan models, the writing tradition of a neighboring people; that does not give this glyph a Chinese reading.
