What 𘚦 means
Western Xia used Tangut writing for government. Khitan writing influenced its design; it was not derived from Chinese characters. Tangut writing marked Western Xia apart from Song China and served Buddhist scriptures and translations. It continued after Western Xia and was obsolete by the end of Ming.
