What 𗦦 means
It names the joint between the hand and forearm. Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary lists the Tangut wrist character 𗦦 as entry 2249 under “wrist.”
Tangut script served official and literary writing. The earliest transmitted Tangut document is dated 1072. Homophones, a Tangut reference work, belongs to the 12th century; a 1502 inscription shows the script continued after the Western Xia period. These dates set the historical context, not a creation date for 𗦦.
Historical and philological in register; it belongs in Tangut texts and specialist reference.
