What 𘑄 means
It represents the Tangut word reconstructed as du, meaning “chair.” A Chinese dictionary glosses it with 椅, the Chinese word for chair.
The Tangut script was created under the first Western Xia emperor around 1036 to write the Tangut language. Tangut writing continued through the Yuan and early Ming periods and was obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
