Tangut Ideogram 1725B

As of January 2025, its individual entry has no standard English gloss.

That dictionary entry lists reconstructed readings (scholars’ proposed pronunciations) and compounds. A reading tells you how scholars think the character sounded; it is not a translation. The entry cites the 12th-century Wénhǎi and Tóngyīn, Tangut dictionaries that document the character in medieval writing.

Is 𗉛 Chinese?

No. It belongs to Tangut, a distinct writing system.

Tangut script was created around 1036 under Li Yuanhao, ruler of the Western Xia state in what is now northwestern China. It served official writing and translations of the Buddhist canon, a collection of Buddhist scriptures. Tangut characters drew on some Chinese character-building principles and developed in the same region as Khitan scripts, but Tangut is a separate script.

After Western Xia fell, Tangut writing continued in Yuan- and Ming-era records before becoming obsolete. As of 2026, Tangut appears mainly in historical study and technical work; a lone 𗉛 in a message is better treated as a reference or font test than as a ready-made reaction.
