What does 𘑁 mean?

Its Unicode name is an inventory label, not a translation.

Unicode names for Tangut characters are generated from their code-point numbers—their numeric IDs—so this label does not say what 𘑁 meant as a word. Reading it in an old text requires a Tangut dictionary and the surrounding passage.

The Tangut script was created around 1036 under Western Xia rule. Its early uses included state records and a Tangut Buddhist canon, a collection of sacred texts. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in post-Xia texts; the latest known inscription dates to 1502. The surviving works include legal and official records, Chinese translations, and original writing.

Is 𘑁 Chinese?

No. It belongs to the separate Tangut script.

Tangut writing drew on Chinese writing but formed a separate system for writing Tangut. Historical texts used vertical columns running from right to left. In modern scholarly text, Tangut is commonly written horizontally from left to right. Editions and fonts may show different glyph forms, so an outline change alone does not establish a different character.
