What 𘚼 means
Its dictionary gloss is “red.”

Tangut was created under Western Xia’s first emperor about 1036 to write the Tangut language. It appears in official, private, and religious texts; use continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties, but the script was obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
