Tangut Character 𗋇

The Unicode name identifies the glyph but does not translate it.

A Tangut character index compiled by the scholar Li Fanwen maps 𗋇 to entry 1989 and records one reconstructed reading, written wjɨ. A reconstructed reading is a scholarly proposal for how a character sounded; it is not an English gloss. The code-point name does not supply the meaning.

The Tangut script was devised around 1036 for the Western Xia state, including administration, political identity, and Buddhist translations. The earliest transmitted Tangut document is an official document dated 1072. Tangut writing continued after Western Xia fell and remained in use into the 16th century.

How do I type 𗋇?

Use the RIME Xunpin Tangut input method.

RIME Xunpin lists 𗋇 under γu and also supports stroke and four-corner input. Here γu is an input code, not a pronunciation. A Tangut-capable font is needed to display the input method’s suggested characters.

Is 𗋇 Chinese?

No. It belongs to Tangut, a distinct script.

Tangut developed in contact with Chinese and neighboring Khitan writing traditions while remaining a distinct script. Tangut characters can resemble Han ideographs, but this glyph is Tangut; resemblance does not make it Chinese or provide a Chinese reading.
