What 𗪚 means
The label identifies the character; it does not translate it. “Tangut Ideograph-17A9A” is an inventory name, not a word gloss.
The Sea of Writing records 𗪚 at entry 10.161 in its fourth rhyme group, a section organized by sound. That location identifies a dictionary entry but does not give its meaning.
Is 𗪚 a Chinese character?
No. It belongs to Tangut writing, a separate script.
The Tangut script was created around 1036 to write the Tangut language. It later appeared in official records and Buddhist translations. Its forms resemble Chinese writing, but that resemblance does not make 𗪚 Chinese or give it a Chinese reading.
