What 𘙀 means
“Skilful” is the gloss; rje is the reconstructed reading.
Is 𘙀 Chinese or Tangut? It is Tangut: the graph belongs to the script used for the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia state.
The script was created in 1036–1037 for state records, orders, teaching, and translation. The earliest surviving example identified is a military document from 1072. After the Mongol conquest in 1227, Buddhist and monumental inscriptions show it remained in use; one such inscription dates to 1502.
