Tangut character 𗃏

Li Fanwen’s dictionary glosses it as “to cut.” Its 2008 entry is 3511.

Created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor for the Tangut language, the script served the state in today’s northwestern China from 1038–1227. It appears in official, private, and religious texts, including translations from Chinese and Tibetan. It survived the 13th-century Mongol conquest, remained in use through China’s Yuan and Ming dynasties, then became obsolete. Rediscovered in the late 19th century, it was largely deciphered in the early 20th.
