What 𗩟 means
A Tangut reference gives its meaning as “age.”
The Tangut script, also called Xixia script, was developed for the Tangut language of the Western Xia state. It was used for government and legal writing and to translate Buddhist texts. The script was established around 1036–1037. The latest known Tangut inscription dates to 1502. After the script was rediscovered in the late 19th century, a Chinese–Tangut word list from the 12th century helped scholars decipher it.
