Tangut Ideograph-171F4

It is a Tangut character; its Unicode label is not a translation. “Tangut Ideograph-171F4” is an inventory label, not an English gloss. To translate 𗇴, look at the Tangut word or passage where it appears.

Tangut script was created in 1036 under Emperor Li Yuanhao for state-building, a distinct Tangut identity, and a Buddhist canon—a collection of Buddhist scriptures. A surviving Tangut manuscript fragment from Khara-Khoto is probably from the 12th or early 13th century; that dates the manuscript, not the first appearance of this individual character.

Tangut texts include Buddhist scriptures, translated Chinese works, Confucian classics, encyclopedias, military treatises, and literature. Tangut script drew inspiration from Chinese writing without being derived from it; its creators also followed neighboring Khitan states in establishing a native script. These are connections between writing systems, not proof of a relationship between 𗇴 and a particular Chinese or Khitan character.

How do I type this Tangut character?

Use Unicode input; the exact keys depend on your setup. In an editor with Unicode code-point entry, enter 171F4; the keystrokes vary by operating system and application. The character’s inventory name is not a keyboard command.

A font draws this text character. If the active font lacks Tangut coverage, it may appear blank or as a replacement box; another Tangut font can change its design without changing the character.
