What 𗷢 means
Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut dictionary glosses it as “to feed.”
The English index identifies the entry as L2008-1843. Scholars reconstruct the character’s sound from historical records; those spellings are scholarly estimates, not modern Chinese pronunciation.
Is 𗷢 a Chinese character?
No. It belongs to the Tangut script, a separate writing system.
The Tangut script was created under Western Xia authority in 1036 to write the Tangut language. It served administration, education, and religion through 1502. Its shapes look Chinese-like, but Tangut writing cannot be read as Chinese.
