What 𗵺 means
A Tangut dictionary pairs it with the Chinese character 絮. The Tangut dictionary catalog number is 4451; the entry glosses the character as cotton fluff or batting and prints ·wạ as its reading. That is a scholarly notation for a reconstructed Tangut sound, not a modern recording or the pronunciation of 絮.
Tangut writing was devised around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor for the Tangut language. Western Xia was a medieval state in what is now northwestern China. Tangut writing served government, law, inscriptions, private writing, and Buddhist texts. Texts continued under the Yuan and Ming after Western Xia fell, before Tangut writing eventually fell out of use.
Historical and scholarly; in a present-day message it signals interest in Tangut writing, not ordinary Chinese.
