What 𗍒 means
Li Fanwen’s English index glosses it as “ore.” Unicode’s Tangut chart links this glyph to entry L2008-0015.
Tangut script was created around 1036 for official and cultural writing in the Western Xia state. It remained in use for Buddhist and other texts after the state fell.
How is 𗍒 read?
