What 𗥂 means

𗥂 means “house” in Tangut.

Tangut writing was created for the Western Xia kingdom in northwestern China around 1036, serving government, Buddhist texts, and political identity.

Manuscripts from Khara-khoto, a ruined city, probably date to the 12th or early 13th century. Tangut continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties, becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
