What 𗢹 means
In Tangut, it means “to salute.”
The Tangut–Chinese dictionary entry associated with 𗢹 is glossed “to salute”: greeting someone with a respectful gesture. It names the act, rather than acting as a ready-made greeting on its own.
Tangut is a separate writing system, even where its character shapes may remind you of Chinese. The Western Xia court established the script in 1036 for government and cultural work. It appeared in state records, diplomacy with Chinese speakers, and Buddhist translations. The latest known example of Tangut script is dated 1502.
