What 𗔽 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “surname.”
In 1036, the Western Xia state ordered the creation of Tangut script as part of state-building, including a Buddhist canon and a distinct identity. The script drew on Chinese writing but was separate; its creation also followed the earlier Khitan precedent of a state making its own script.
A manuscript fragment from ruined Khara-khoto contains Tangut text in a translated, nonreligious work; it probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century.
