Tangut Component 431

431/768

𘦮 is a Tangut component: a structural sign for indexing or describing full characters, not a word with one fixed translation. The script was ordered by Western Xia’s first emperor about 1036 for state-building; a Tangut Buddhist canon was a likely goal. It was distinct, visually and structurally inspired by Chinese writing; nearby Khitan scripts, developed about a century earlier, offered a model for a native script.

What 𘦮 means

They help scholars organize and describe full characters.

Specialist notation for indexing and analyzing Tangut characters.

Do not translate the numbered component as a Tangut word.
