What 𗚢 means
It comes from Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary index. The index sends 𗚢 to entry 5172, where khu̱ is a scholarly Latin-letter transcription of the Tangut reading and 跟 is the Chinese gloss for “follow.”
Is 𗚢 Chinese or Tangut?
It is Tangut, from a separate script. Tangut forms resemble Chinese writing. Use continued under Yuan and Ming rule before falling out of use; some Tangut texts translated Chinese works.
Historical Tangut writing; useful in reading texts and dictionary entries.
