What 𘘕 means
𘘕 is a Tangut transliteration sign.
Transliteration writes a word or name from one language in another script; here, the sign gives a sound value.
The Tangut-led state of Xixia (Western Xia) put the script into use in 1036 for state-building and Buddhist translation.
It drew on Chinese writing but remained distinct; the neighboring Khitan people also developed a separate script.
Surviving Tangut texts include Buddhist, legal, economic, and literary works.
