What 𘞢 means
It names the opening in the nose.
Scholars reconstruct its Tangut reading from written records and transcribe it as dzow.
Tangut, also called Xixia, was created around 1036 CE under Western Xia’s first emperor to write the Tangut language. It appeared in official, private, and religious texts. After Western Xia fell to the Mongols, it remained in use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming.
Is 𘞢 Chinese?
No. 𘞢 is Tangut, not Chinese. Its script resembles Chinese writing but is a separate system.
