Tangut Component-196

It is a structural component, not a standalone word.

Tangut writing was created in 1036 for the Tangut language under the Western Xia state. The state used it for administration and Buddhist translations; some surviving manuscripts date to the mid-11th century. Its forms drew on Chinese and earlier Khitan scripts, but Tangut was a distinct writing system.

In modern scholarship, Tangut components help describe and index characters. Unicode’s Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS), a notation for showing how a character is assembled, also use components to describe Tangut character structure. Editorial notes for one Tangut dictionary place 𘣃 on the left in entries 5286–5288.
