What 𗎮 means
It is the Tangut character recorded for “dust.”
The Tangut script was developed under the first emperor of Western Xia around 1036 for official and cultural use. It continued after the Mongol conquest and became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Those dates describe the script, not a change in 𗎮’s recorded meaning.
Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary lists 𗎮 as entry 2723.
Historical and specialized; used in Tangut texts and study.
As of 2026, without Tangut font support, 𗎮 may appear as a box or fallback glyph.

1Why does 𗎮 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.
