Text symbol

What 𗙈 means

It is a verb meaning “to destroy.” A Tangut–Chinese dictionary records that sense.

Tangut was the language of Western Xia; the state created the script around 1036 for state-building and cultural identity. Tangut writing appears in official and Buddhist texts, dictionaries, block-printed books, and manuscripts from Khara-Khoto, where Tangut texts were found. Western Xia fell in 1227, but Tangut writing continued; the last known example of Tangut writing is dated 1502. Tangut script drew on Chinese writing, but 𗙈 is a Tangut character.

Historical and scholarly; its word sense needs Tangut context.
