What 𗨣 means
It means “be destroyed.”
A Tangut dictionary gives 𗨣 this gloss: it is a written word, not a picture of destruction.
Tangut writing was created around 1036 for administration in the Western Xia state; Buddhist texts were translated into Tangut in 1038. The script drew on Chinese writing practice while remaining distinct. A leaf from a Tangut manuscript found at Khara-Khoto probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century. Khitan state scripts are another regional historical comparison.
A historical Tangut word, suited to texts or study.
Its dictionary gloss is “be destroyed”; it is not a universal warning symbol.
