What 𗨷 means

It means “slowly” in Tangut.

A Tangut dictionary lists this entry as L2008-2236 and gives “slowly” as its English gloss. That is a word meaning; a particular message still needs context.

Why was Tangut script made?

To meet the Western Xia kingdom’s official and cultural needs.

Tangut script was created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor for official and cultural writing. It continued into later dynasties before becoming obsolete. Its structure draws on Chinese writing, but Tangut is a distinct script.

Historical and scholarly; in casual chat, its Tangut reading needs context.

Give the gloss; otherwise the other person may not know what it says.
