Tangut Character 18227

It means “transmit” or “pass on” in Tangut writing.

The Tangut writing system was created for the Western Xia state, with its creation traditionally dated to 1036. It was used for government records, Buddhist translations, and printed books, placing this character in a historical written tradition.

A Tangut wordbook glosses it as “transmit” or “pass on”; another Chinese gloss allows “turn” or “transfer.” A Tibetan phonetic note—a sound clue written with Tibetan letters—survives in British Library manuscript Or.12380/1842.

What does 𘈧 mean when someone sends it?

Without Tangut context, don’t read it as a forwarding request.

The 12th-century Tiansheng Code uses 𘈧 alone or after 𗀚 in a verb for sending documents between government departments of equal rank. Other ranks use different verb-and-prefix combinations, so the surrounding words clarify the kind of transfer. This historical example does not establish what a sender intends in an unexplained message.
