What 𘋎 means
It means “strings for a saddle” in Tangut.
The Tangut script was devised around 1036 for the Western Xia state and helped establish a distinct written culture. Tangut writing appears in official, private, Buddhist, and legal texts.
After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in Yuan and early Ming texts.
