What 𗞍 means
It is a character in the Tangut script.
Tangut is a separate script shaped partly by Chinese writing. Some scholars also suggest Khitan influence; that link remains uncertain. The number in the technical label is a catalog index, not a translation or pronunciation.
Why did Xixia use Tangut?
To write Tangut and mark the state's distinct identity.
The script was promulgated in 1036. After Western Xia fell to Mongol armies in 1227, Tangut continued under the Yuan and Ming, including in Buddhist books and Chinese works translated into Tangut.
