What 𗵲 means
One recorded gloss is “to get.”
The surrounding Tangut words show its role; one character alone is not a full sentence.
Is 𗵲 Chinese or Tangut?
It is Tangut; its script drew on Chinese and Khitan writing.
Tangut was distinct from Chinese. Western Xia developed the script around 1036–37 for government and culture. Tangut texts include laws, Buddhist translations, and literature. Writing continued after the state fell; a known inscription is dated 1502.
