What 𗼌 means
It spells foreign sounds in Tangut Buddhist texts.
The reconstructed Tangut reading ki̯e is written in scholarly transcription. A Wen-hai dictionary entry records 𗼌 for spelling foreign sounds in sutras and dhāraṇī (Buddhist formulas of sacred syllables or phrases); its spelling partners 𗼍 and 𗼎 contribute the beginning and ending parts, respectively.
Historical and specialist; it belongs in Tangut texts, not casual modern conversation.
A Chinese-like shape does not make it Chinese; Tangut is a separate script.
