What 𗦯 means
Its Unicode name is an identifier, not a translation.
Its Unicode name is generated from the code point, not a Tangut reading or dictionary gloss. A Tangut dictionary supplies both.
The Tangut script was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state. Its design drew on Chinese writing and the Khitan state-script model, another regional writing system. It served official and literary writing; Buddhist texts continued after the Western Xia period.
