This character belongs to the Tangut Ideographs block, which contains thousands of logograms used to represent words and morphemes in the Tangut language, a member of the Qiangic branch of the Sino-Tibetan family. The exact meaning and phonetic value of this particular character are known only through scholarly decipherment of Tangut texts, such as the Pearl in the Palm and other manuscripts, as the script was largely forgotten after the fall of the dynasty.
