What 𘏬 means
It means “steelyard.”
The reading of 𘏬 is reconstructed as *ka̱r, roughly “ka” with an r-like sound through the vowel; the asterisk marks an inference. A Tangut geography fragment glosses it “steelyard.”
Tangut is a distinct script for the Tangut language, though its characters can resemble Chinese writing. Developed around 1036 for Western Xia’s official and cultural writing, it remained in use into China’s Yuan and Ming dynasties.
Historical and specialist; it belongs in Tangut texts or research.
