What 𗻡 means
It names a sharp whistling call. Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary links it to Chinese 嘯 and gives the Tangut reading in Latin letters as zur.
Why was Tangut writing created?
It served the Western Xia state and Buddhist learning. Created about 1036 CE under its first emperor, Tangut writing carried state records, diplomacy, Buddhist translations, books, inscriptions, and manuscripts. It continued under Yuan and Ming rule; Baoding Buddhist pillars bear Tangut inscriptions dated 1502. Chinese writing influenced its structure, but Tangut remained distinct.
What does 𗻡 mean in a message?
