What does 𗳗 mean?
Its Unicode name is an inventory label, not a translation.

The Tangut script was created under imperial decree for Western Xia's official and cultural work. Surviving Tangut literature includes translations of Chinese and Tibetan works. A mid-12th-century dictionary, the Sea of Characters, explains characters through other Tangut characters. The recorded structure of 𗳗 places 𘣀 on the left and 𘠁 on the right; those parts do not reveal its word or pronunciation.
