This particular component, identified by its number 249 in the official Unicode Tangut Components block, serves as a building block for forming complete Tangut characters, much like a radical in Chinese writing, and it was encoded to facilitate digital representation, text processing, and linguistic research into the thousands of Tangut logographs that were deciphered from historical manuscripts and inscriptions.
