tangut ideograph-172b9

Tangut ideograph 172B9

698/6136

𗊹 is glossed “crooked” in Tangut references. Tangut writing served the Western Xia state and Buddhist works, including printed texts. By itself in a message, it identifies a historical Tangut character, but not why the sender chose it.

Text symbol

What 𗊹 means

Tangut references gloss 𗊹 as “crooked.” A gloss is a short translation clue, not a complete definition.

The Tangut script was made for the Tangut language in Western Xia, a medieval state in northwestern China. Traditional histories credit the official Yeli Renrong with designing it around 1036; that date belongs to the script, not this individual character.

Historical character; its short gloss cannot decode a whole message.
