Tangut Character 17281

Its Tangut word has no settled English translation as of 2026.

The 12th-century Tangut rhyme dictionary Homophones is a reference that groups words by sound. Its entry preserves a reading, while modern references list several scholarly reconstructions; these indicate how the word may have sounded, not what it meant.

Is 𗊁 a Chinese character?

No; it belongs to the separate Tangut script.

The Tangut script entered official use around 1036 to write Tangut, the language of the Western Xia state in what is now northwestern China. Chinese writing shaped some of its visual and structural conventions, but Tangut is a distinct script.

It served government and Buddhist writing. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Buddhist monks continued producing Tangut texts under later rulers.

What are the parts of 𗊁?

𗊁 has 𘠣 on the left and 𘢝 on the right.

That describes its written form, not its translation. Tangut characters combine components in different ways; a component list alone does not show whether each part contributes sound or meaning.
