This specific character is one of thousands of logographic ideographs used in Tangut, a complex script that was deciphered in the 20th century from preserved manuscripts and inscriptions. The meaning of this particular ideograph is not universally known or standardized, as Tangut studies remain a specialized field of philology, but it represents a morpheme or word in the extinct Tangut language, which belonged to the Sino-Tibetan family.
