What 𗙧 means
It is glossed as “thousand” in Tangut.
Li Fanwen’s Xia-Han Zidian is a Tangut–Chinese dictionary; it lists this exact character as entry 0224, glossed “thousand,” and the Unicode Tangut chart links it to the same entry.
Tangut script was created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor. It served official writing and cultural work, including Buddhist translations. After Western Xia, Tangut continued in use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
How do I type 𗙧?
Use a Tangut-specific input method.
RIME is an input-method framework that turns keystrokes into characters. Tangut-specific RIME layouts can select dictionary entries with Four-Corner codes, based on shapes at a character’s corners, or with Tangut radicals, recurring parts used to group characters.
Some browser-based Tangut IMEs require a dictionary file to be loaded before code candidates appear.
Historical and specialist; by itself, “thousand” may not say what is being counted.
Alone, it says “thousand” but not what is counted; ask for the surrounding context.
