What 𘪤 means
Use Unicode input to enter U18AA4.
For repeated writing, use a Tangut input method; the app also needs a Tangut-capable font to draw the character.
What does Tangut component 677 do?
It is a component, not a complete word.
Tangut component 677 has no fixed standalone word meaning. Components help describe and analyze larger Tangut characters, including in Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS), a notation for showing how a character is built. A component can contribute meaning or sound, so its role depends on the whole character.
Tangut script was created around 1036 for Western Xia state-building and a major Buddhist canon project—a collection of Buddhist scriptures. Written use is attested from the 11th century onward; later texts include Chinese works, law, military writing, and literature. The script drew inspiration from Chinese writing but remained distinct.
Technical and scholarly: it labels Tangut character structure rather than acting as a conversational word.
Drift: In 2025, Unicode approved a correction to this character's reference drawing. The documented stroke count changed from 9 to 10, so fonts using different glyph versions may show different outlines.
