What 𗎈 means
Tangut dictionaries gloss this character as “ice.”
Tangut script served the Western Xia state in government records, translations, and cultural writing. Daily use faded after the Mongol conquest. Two dictionaries from the 12th century, Wénhǎi (“Sea of Writing”) and Tóngyīn (“Homophones”), record this character.
