What 𘃇 means
It is glossed as “name of a ghost.”
Tangut was the language of Western Xia, a state in what is now northwestern China. Its court commissioned a script for administration and Buddhist translation in 1036–1037; the earliest surviving official Tangut document dates to 1072.
Tangut writing appears in Buddhist, government, and other secular texts. Its visual structure was influenced by Chinese writing, though Tangut is a separate script. Khitan, a neighboring people whose rulers also sponsored a script, offers a historical parallel; direct influence on Tangut remains debated.
Historical and scholarly; this character belongs in Tangut material, not routine chat.
Readers who cannot read Tangut will not get the dictionary gloss from the glyph alone.
