What 𘁹 means
The English index lists it under “to change.”
The entry is numbered 5350 in an English index to a Tangut dictionary. That short translation is a starting point; words around it can clarify the intended sense in a sentence.
Where was 𘁹 used?
The Western Xia state used it in records, writing, and books.
Western Xia, also called Xixia, was a state whose language was Tangut. Its script was created under the state’s first emperor and served government records, private works, and religious books. After Western Xia fell, Tangut writing continued in texts from the Yuan and Ming periods of Chinese history.
