What 𘌳 means
Tangut dictionary entry 5559 is glossed “hold or cherish.” The dictionary pairs it with Chinese character 懐 as a translation clue, not a substitute character. In a passage, surrounding Tangut words settle the precise sense.
The Tangut script was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state and its Buddhist scripture collection. It drew on principles of Chinese writing but remained a distinct script. Medieval Tangut texts include Buddhist scriptures, Chinese works translated into Tangut, and legal and literary writing.
Scholarly and historical in tone; it belongs in a discussion of Tangut writing or texts.
A box means the font lacks this Tangut glyph; the character’s identity has not changed.
