What 𘊇 means
“To guard” in Tangut; in names, it writes Chinese sounds.
A Western Xia law-code fragment—a page from a set of laws—uses 𘊇 for the sound of 尚 and 昌, not their meanings.
The Western Xia state created Tangut writing around 1036–37 for records, education, and translation. Its oldest surviving document is an official message from 1072. Khitan script may have influenced it; scholars debate this.
