Can you please let me know what is the meaning of the letter X and the letter W stamp in your passport

The X sounds like a refusal of entry stamp...the W may be the time she is penalized before being allowed to re-enter. If she was on a student visa, it likely had something to do with violating the conditions of that. Immigrations officers are supposed to tell people why....I believe they're even supposed to give written explanations. I'd contact the UK Immigration service.

Your Aunt needs to contact the British High Commission in Bridgetown.
They will explain the reasons why your aunt was denied entry.
