What 𗅟 means
Use a Tangut-capable font; a Tangut lookup tool can help enter it.
Without Tangut coverage, the active font may show a box. Browsers can load a web font; other apps may need a Tangut font installed locally.
What does 𗅟 mean?
No settled English gloss identifies its meaning.
The character has a reconstructed Tangut reading. It appears in the 12th century in the Sea of Writing, a Tangut rhyme dictionary, and Homophones, a dictionary organized by sound.
Is 𗅟 Chinese?
No; it belongs to Tangut, a distinct historical script.
In 1036, the Tangut court ordered the script as part of building its state identity and creating Buddhist translations.
Tangut writing drew on Chinese character-making conventions but did not descend from Chinese. After the Western Xia state fell, Tangut continued in manuscripts; surviving texts include Buddhist works, Chinese and Tibetan translations, Confucian teachings, military writing, and literature.
Historical and specialist: use it in a Tangut-language, manuscript, or script-study context.
Without Tangut font support, 𗅟 may appear as a box.
