What 𗢚 means
The gloss points to illness in cattle.
Li Yuanhao ordered Tangut writing for Western Xia in 1036. It supported Buddhist texts and a distinct state identity beside the Song dynasty in China; its forms drew on Chinese visual conventions without deriving from Chinese writing. It continued into the Yuan and Ming periods, becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
A Tangut manuscript sentence supplies the historical context.
𗢚 resembles Chinese writing, but belongs to the separate Tangut script.

𗢚\1789AWhy is 𗢚 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
