What 𗜨 means
It means “I” or “me” in Tangut.
A Tangut dictionary indexes it as L4380 and reconstructs its pronunciation as mə². This is scholarly sound notation, not a modern recording.
Tangut was created in 1036 as Western Xia’s state script, drawing on Chinese writing and developing alongside Khitan writing. It served government, Buddhist texts, translations, and literature. A Buddhist book from Khara-Khoto dates to 1084; the latest datable Tangut materials are the Baoding pillars bearing dhāraṇī, Buddhist ritual texts, dated 1502. These dates describe the script, not this character’s first appearance.
