What 𗬷 means
It is a Tangut character; its Unicode name is not a translation. Look it up in a Tangut dictionary for its reading. Tangut script can look Chinese, but it is distinct; a Chinese character with similar strokes cannot decode it.
Tangut script was created around 1036 under the first emperor of the Western Xia state to write the Tangut language. It served official records, private writing, and Buddhist books. After Western Xia fell to the Mongols in 1227, the script continued into the Yuan and Ming periods and was obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
