What 𘀒 means
It names a star in Tangut writing.
Li Fanwen’s English index gives entry 3927 the gloss “name of a star.”
The Western Xia state (Xixia) created Tangut writing in 1036 for official correspondence; Buddhist translations later used it.
A Khara-Khoto Tangut manuscript probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century; as of 2026, this character’s earliest attestation remains unsettled.
Is this an emoji? No; it is a character from historical Tangut writing.
Not a general star symbol.
