What 𗱶 means
Its reconstructed reading is du¹; that is not an English gloss.
Tangut writing was created in 1036 for Western Xia state-building and a collection of Buddhist scriptures. Manuscripts survive from the mid-11th century onward, including Buddhist, legal, and literary works.
Why does 𗱶 look wrong?
Your font may lack Tangut coverage. Without a Tangut-capable font, the character may appear as a box or a fallback glyph.
A historical character suited to discussion of Tangut writing.
Tangut design drew on Chinese writing, but 𗱶 is a Tangut character, not a Chinese one.
