What 𗾾 means
Its dictionary meaning is “Buddha.”
A Tangut dictionary pairs 𗾾 with Chinese 佛 as a meaning gloss. 𗾾 is Tangut; 佛 is Chinese, so they are translation equivalents, not alternate forms.
Tangut script was created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor. It served Buddhist translations, laws, records, and literature. Religious texts continued under Yuan and Ming rule after the state fell in 1227, before the script became obsolete.
