What 𘋪 means
No: Tangut was distinct, though Chinese writing shaped it.
The code-point label is not a Tangut word gloss.
Li Yuanhao ordered the script around 1036 for Western Xia state-building and Buddhist translation. Khitan neighbors had developed two scripts about a century earlier; one drew on Chinese writing.
Surviving texts include Buddhist scripture, Chinese classics, encyclopedias, military works, Tibetan translations and Tangut originals.
