What 𘜜 means

No: it belongs to Tangut, a distinct script.

Tangut writing took Chinese writing as a model but remained its own script.

The Tangut script was created around 1036 for the Western Xia state. Its early religious use included Buddhist scriptures; it also served official, private, and secular writing. It remained in use into the Yuan and early Ming periods before becoming obsolete.
