Tangut character 170C2

195/6136

𗃂 is a Tangut character that can mean rocking, swaying, or shaking, or stammering. In a Tangut sentence, neighboring words tell you which sense fits; on its own, it needs an explanation. The Tangut script was created for Western Xia administration around 1036 and was also used for Buddhist texts.

What 𗃂 means

It can mean movement or stammering in Tangut.

In Tangut, 𗃂 can describe rocking, swaying, or shaking, or stammering speech. These are separate senses; the surrounding words in a sentence show which one fits. Alone, the character does not settle the meaning.

Is 𗃂 a Chinese character?

No. 𗃂 belongs to the Tangut script.

Tangut was the language of the Western Xia state. The state established the Tangut script for administration around 1036; Buddhist texts were also translated and printed in it. The script continued in use during the Yuan and Ming periods, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.

Its square forms reflect the Chinese writing environment of the time, but Tangut is a separate script for a different language.

What if someone sends 𗃂 alone?

Ask for the Tangut sentence or a short explanation.

A lone character gives you no sentence context to interpret. If you send it, add a brief explanation so readers know what you mean.

Historical and linguistic; useful in a discussion of Tangut writing, opaque as a standalone message.

Don't guess between movement and stammering from the character alone.
