Text symbol

What 𗍬 means

It denotes the traditional Chinese weight unit called a tael.

The Tangut script was made for Tangut, a now-extinct language. Its forms followed Chinese writing, with possible influence from Khitan, another medieval northern Chinese script. It was introduced in the 1030s for Western Xia, a state in northwestern China. 𗍬 appears in Tóngyīn, a Tangut dictionary from the 12th century; an inscription is dated 1502.

When 𗍬 appears as a box, the font or renderer lacks Tangut support.
