What 𗀬 means
𗀬 is a written character in the Tangut script. Its Unicode label identifies the encoded character; it does not tell you which Tangut word it represents. To read it, use surrounding Tangut text or a specialist dictionary.
Developed under the first Western Xia emperor around 1036, the Tangut script served state administration and the compilation of a Buddhist canon. It was used in official, private, religious, and secular writing, including translations from Chinese and Tibetan. Its forms drew on Chinese writing and writing used by neighboring Khitan states; the scripts were distinct and not mutually readable.
After Western Xia fell to Mongol armies in 1227, Tangut remained in later books, inscriptions, and religious works. Scholars rediscovered the script in the late 19th century and largely deciphered it in the early 20th century; those are dates of modern study, not of its creation.
How do I type 𗀬?
Use Unicode hex input if your editor supports it. Enter 1702C and confirm; the exact steps vary by app and operating system.
In Tangut text, this is part of the writing; in an unexplained message, it stays opaque without context.
A standalone 𗀬 does not reveal what the sender means.
