What 𘑟 means
It means “cheek” in Tangut.
𘑟 is Tangut writing, not Chinese text: the Tangut script is a separate system created for the Tangut language. Scholarly indexes list this character as 0694.
The script was created by order of the Western Xia emperor and promulgated in 1036 CE. Tangut writing continued after Western Xia fell, then eventually ceased to be used.
