What 𘗫 means
It means a sham: a false or feigned appearance.
A Tangut dictionary files it as L0255 and gives its meaning as “pretense.”
The Tangut script was developed in the 11th century for the Western Xia kingdom. It drew on Chinese and Khitan writing traditions while remaining distinct; Khitan was another script used in the region. Tangut appeared in official and religious texts and remained in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties before falling out of use.
Historical and reference-oriented.
