What 𗩲 means
In Tangut, 𗩲 means “host.”
The Tangut script was developed around 1036 for Western Xia. Tangut texts include Buddhist translations and legal codes. Writing continued after the kingdom fell, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
Some Tangut characters resemble Chinese characters, but the scripts are distinct: 𗩲 belongs to Tangut.
