What 𗘫 means
The dictionary gives it a verb sense: “to submit.”
Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary lists 𗘫 as entry 3086. One scholarly reconstruction writes its reading as lju̱¹; that is technical transcription, not a guide to pronouncing it with English sounds.
The Tangut script was developed under the first emperor of the Western Xia state, also called Xixia, about 1036 CE, to write Tangut. Its characters resemble Chinese ideographs but belong to a separate script.
Can 𗘫 translate a message by itself?
No; one character gives only a dictionary gloss.
After Western Xia fell to Mongol forces, Tangut writing continued into the Yuan and Ming periods—later dynasties in China—and was obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Surrounding Tangut text is needed to show how “to submit” fits a message.
Historical and scholarly: it belongs in Tangut text, dictionaries, or script study.
Its square shape does not make it Chinese; it belongs to the separate Tangut script.

Questions people ask
2Why does 𗘫 look different in different fonts?
Historical Tangut sources preserve variant stroke forms, and component analyses of 𗘫 have differed. A typeface may follow a different form; the shape alone does not prove the character changed.
Why do Tangut dictionaries give 𗘫 different readings?
They use different scholarly reconstruction systems. Compare the system named by each dictionary; a different romanized reading alone does not mean the Unicode character changed.
