Western Xia created Tangut writing in 1036 as part of state-building. It recorded Buddhist works, translations from Chinese and Tibetan, and secular books.
Is 𗃀 Chinese?
No; it is Tangut. It is a separate script for the Tangut language. Its design drew on Chinese writing principles without deriving from Chinese. The neighboring Khitan people had created two writing systems of their own about a century earlier.
