What 𘃆 means
Its dictionary gloss is “to detest.”
Tangut dictionary indexes give its reconstructed reading in scholarly Latin-letter notation as kie. The script took shape under the first Western Xia emperor around 1036 CE to write the Tangut language. After the Mongol conquest, Tangut writing continued in official, private, and religious texts during the Yuan and Ming periods before falling out of use. The script drew in part on Chinese and Khitan writing but remained separate.
Tangut font glyphs can have different outlines; that variation by itself does not make the character a different one.
Historical and scholarly; opaque without context.
Give a short gloss for readers who cannot read Tangut.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘃆 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
