Tangut Component 380

𘥻 is a Tangut component, not a word to translate.

Unicode’s Tangut component set includes dictionary radicals and pieces used in Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS), short formulas that show how a character is built. Here “380” is a catalogue number, not a pronunciation or definition. Tangut, also called Xixia, was created under the first emperor of Western Xia around 1036 to write the Tangut language, spoken in what is now northwestern China. The script appears in official, private, and religious texts. Use continued after the Mongol conquest under Yuan and Ming rule, then faded by the end of the Ming dynasty.

Tangut texts were rediscovered in the late 19th century and the script was largely deciphered in the early 20th century, with major work by Nikolai Nevskij. Unicode’s component inventory unifies systems drawn from several Tangut dictionaries and scholarly publications because scholars use different component lists. This entry belongs to that modern reference system; its assigned number does not give it a spoken reading.

How do I type 𘥻?

Use hexadecimal Unicode entry if your software supports it.

In an input method or editor with hexadecimal code-point entry, enter 1897B and confirm. The exact keystrokes depend on the software.

Your current font determines whether the glyph appears. If it lacks this Tangut character, you may see a missing-glyph box; fonts with Tangut coverage can draw its strokes differently.
