What 𗯼 means
It means “to burn” or “catch fire” in Tangut.
Tangut was created in 1036 for Western Xia's government and Buddhist canon; 𗯼 survives on bronze paiza, relay passes from 1038–1227.
Set beside 𘆝, “horse,” it spells “burn the horses” — the order to ride without stopping.
Scholarly; no established modern chat reading as of 2026.
In chat it reads as a mystery glyph or an empty box, not “fire.”

1why does 𗯼 look like a box?
A font gap: Tangut renders only with Tangut-capable fonts; the box is not another character.
