What 𗼮 means

Use a Tangut lookup tool with a character lookup key.

Tangut lookup tools can accept a Li Fanwen dictionary number—an entry number in a Tangut dictionary—or a recursive code that describes a character's parts. If text comes from an older encoding that stored Tangut in slots for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters, convert it to Unicode before processing it.

Tangut is a historical language of northwestern China. Its writing system was developed under Western Xia's first emperor, ruler of a Tangut-led state, around 1036 to write Tangut. It appears in official, private, and religious texts, including sutras, inscriptions, and manuscripts; use continued into the Yuan and Ming periods, and the script was obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
