What 𗿎 means

Its individual gloss is “confused.”

The Tangut script, also called the Xixia script, is the writing system used for the Tangut language. It was created around 1036 during state-building in Western Xia, a Tangut state, probably to support a Buddhist canon in Tangut and a distinct political identity. A manuscript found at Khara-khoto, a ruined Tangut site, is probably from the 12th or early 13th century; that dates the manuscript, not this individual character. Tangut writing continued during the Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete.

A documented analysis breaks the Tangut word 𗾦, “chaotic,” into 𗊌, “sweat,” plus 𗿎, “confused.” The meaning “chaotic” belongs to the compound; 𗿎 alone has its own gloss.

A historical-script character used in scholarly and typographic work.

Without a font with Tangut coverage, it may appear as a missing-glyph box.
