What 𘐶 means
It is a Tangut verb for throwing. One dictionary glosses it “to throw”; another says “throw away” or “discard.”
Tangut writing was commissioned in 1036 for Western Xia government and Buddhist translations. It remained in use for centuries after the state fell in 1227. Its square forms resemble Chinese writing, but the scripts are distinct.
Historical and specialist; its verb meaning belongs in Tangut text or discussion of the language.
