What 𗞱 means
It means “to exhaust, use up, or run dry.” A Tangut dictionary pairs it with the Chinese character 竭, whose meaning is close to “to use up or dry out”; 竭 is a translation aid, not a Chinese form of 𗞱.
The Tangut script was introduced in 1036 for Western Xia state-building, the creation of a Buddhist scripture collection, and a distinct identity from Song China. It drew on Khitan writing precedents and Chinese visual principles while remaining its own script. Tangut books also included translations from Chinese and works on Confucian thought, military matters, and literature. A manuscript from the Khara-Khoto site probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century, showing the script continued beyond its founding period, not dating this character.
If someone sends 𗞱 alone, treat it as Tangut text to identify, not a standard emoji reaction.
If it shows as a box, the active font lacks Tangut coverage; that display does not mean the character is broken.

1Why does 𗞱 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
