What 𗪬 means
A Tangut dictionary and context give the reading. The Unicode label only identifies the character.
Created around 1036 for Western Xia administration and Buddhist texts, the Tangut script drew on Chinese and older Khitan scripts while writing a separate language. It later carried official, religious, and literary works, including translations from Chinese and Tibetan, through the Yuan and Ming periods.
