What 𘆢 means
Its label identifies the character; tjạ¹ is a reconstructed reading.
A Tangut transcription dataset records the reconstructed reading tjạ¹; this scholarly notation represents pronunciation, not a translation of the written word.
Why does 𘆢 look like Chinese?
Tangut borrowed Chinese forms but remained a separate script.
Tangut forms were modeled on Chinese writing; that resemblance does not make the scripts the same.
The Western Xia state used Tangut for administration and Buddhist translations from the 11th century. Writing continued after the state ended.
