What 𗤕 means
Read it as the verb “know.”
Tangut was the language of Western Xia, a medieval state in northwestern China. In a sentence, this character is a word, not a picture or emoji reaction.
Is Tangut writing Chinese?
No; it writes a different language.
Created around 1036 to mark Tangut political and cultural independence, the script borrowed Chinese writing methods. A text tentatively dated around 1070/1071 may be its earliest dated example. It continued in official and Buddhist works under Yuan and Ming rule after Western Xia fell in 1227; a monument from 1502 is among its latest known uses.

1Why can the same Tangut character look different in old texts?
It may be the same character. Tangut texts vary glyph shapes; Unicode unifies historical shapes when they do not distinguish dictionary entries.
