What 𘞏 means
A tribal surname. The Tangut dictionary gloss is “surname of a tribe.”
The Western Xia state created Tangut writing in 1036 for government and a collection of Buddhist scriptures, establishing a distinct state script. It drew on Chinese writing and neighboring Khitan scripts but remained separate.
A court record from Guazhou may be the earliest dated Tangut writing, around 1070/1071. Later works covered Buddhist texts, the teachings of Confucius, military subjects, and literature; Tangut materials survived Western Xia’s fall in 1227.

𘞏\1878FWhy is 𘞏 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
