What 𘆇 means
It means “shame” in Tangut. Tangut was the language of the Western Xia state. “Shame” is the recorded English gloss, not a translation of the character’s reference label.
The Tangut script was created in 1036 for state-building and Buddhist canon production. It later carried legal, official, Confucian, military, and literary works.
After Western Xia fell, Tangut writing continued in Yuan and Ming texts; a known inscription dates to 1502. The script’s settings changed over time, while this character’s documented gloss is “shame.”
