What 𘕎 means
The Tangut gloss is “bellyband.” It names a band worn around the torso; the character does not picture the item.
Tangut writing was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state. It served government and Buddhist texts and recorded Chinese works translated into Tangut.
Historical and specialist; it belongs in Tangut-language or historical-text contexts.

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
