Tangut Component 305

305/768

𘤰 is a structural component of the Tangut script, so it has no fixed word translation on its own. A Tangut component 305 entry helps scholars describe or find complete characters; the script is historical, while this numbered component system is modern cataloguing.

Text symbol

What 𘤰 means

It is an indexing and description piece, not a translated word.

Tangut writing was created around 1036 under Western Xia's first emperor to write the Tangut language. It remained in use after Western Xia fell, through the Yuan and Ming dynasties, though it had become obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. The script was rediscovered in the late 19th century and has since been largely deciphered.

Number 305 is part of a sequential Unicode catalog name, not a reading from historical Tangut. Unicode's modern component set draws on reference works in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and English; there was no single standard component list. A source reference also identifies 𘤰 as H2004-023.

Is Tangut component 305 a complete character?

No: it is one structural component, not a whole Tangut word.

An ideographic description sequence (IDS) shows how a character is assembled. Tangut component 305 in an IDS marks one structural element. In a dictionary, 𘤰 is a radical—a filing key that groups complete Tangut characters for lookup. Neither label supplies a standalone reading.

Do not translate 𘤰 as a whole Tangut word.

Why does 𘤰 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
