What 𗹓 means
Read it as part of a Tangut word or passage.
The scholarly notation tśjɨj¹ reconstructs its historical sound; it does not give an English definition.
The Sea of Writing (Wénhǎi), a Tangut dictionary that groups characters by rhyme, records 𗹓 at 51.172 under the heading 𗵆. Tangut writing served the Western Xia (Xixia) Empire’s official and cultural life; a bilingual glossary called Pearl in the Palm helped scholars decipher it.
