What 𗫞 means
It means “to stand up” in Tangut.
The mid-12th-century Wenhai (“Sea of Characters”), a Tangut dictionary, records 𗫞 in its volume of mixed entries, at folio 13B (a manuscript page). A 2018 study gives the Chinese word 站 (“stand”) as its gloss.
Tangut script was created about 1036 for the Western Xia state’s official and cultural life. After Western Xia fell, later dynasties still used the script before it eventually fell out of use. Tangut characters may look like Chinese writing, but they record another language.
A historical Tangut word, encountered in dictionaries and the study of old texts.
Tangut can look like Chinese, but knowing Chinese does not let you read this character; it records a Tangut word.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗫞 show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
