What 𗟛 means
It is the Tangut character for “leaf.”
Created by imperial decree in 1036, the Tangut script wrote the language of Western Xia. It appeared in state and diplomatic correspondence and in Buddhist translations printed as books. Its structure draws on Chinese characters, but it writes a distinct language. Tangut texts continued after Western Xia fell in 1227.
