Text symbol

What 𗄡 means

It describes something burned by heat at the surface.

Li Yuanhao, ruler of the Western Xia state (Xixia), ordered Tangut writing in 1036 for state-building and translation. It also carried Buddhist texts; a surviving manuscript dates to the 12th or early 13th century.

Tangut is a separate script for the Tangut language, though it follows Chinese writing principles. Whether earlier Khitan scripts influenced it remains debated.

Why can 𗄡 look different in references?

Its small component is drawn differently in some references. A 2023 Unicode proposal treats it as distinct from a similar Tangut component; a blank box means the font lacks Tangut support.
