What 𘖺 means
Li Fanwen’s Tangut–Chinese dictionary lists it as “longevity.”
The first Western Xia emperor created Tangut writing around 1036 to record the Tangut language. It remained in use after his state fell and became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Texts served official, private, and religious purposes, including Buddhist works.
A square or blank where 𘖺 should be usually means the active font or app lacks a Tangut glyph. Try a font that includes Tangut.
