What 𘎚 means

It means adding something to complete what is already there.

Why did Western Xia create Tangut writing?

It served state-building, government, and Buddhist learning.

Created around 1036, the script was visually inspired by Chinese writing, while neighboring Khitan states set an example with their own scripts. Tangut texts continued under the Yuan after Western Xia fell to the Mongols in 1227, especially Buddhist works.
