Tangut Character for Father

1039/6136

𗐎 means “father” in Tangut, the language of the Western Xia state. This is a written word, not a Chinese character or emoji; Tangut script uses Chinese-style block forms for a different language. The script outlived the state and later appears in Buddhist texts.

Text symbol

What 𗐎 means

No. 𗐎 is a Tangut character, not a Chinese one. Tangut was a separate language written by people of the Western Xia state.

The script was established in 1036–1038 to write that language, using Chinese-style block construction for its own characters. It appeared in seals, inscriptions, documents, and Buddhist translations. Western Xia fell in 1227, but Tangut writing survived; a Buddhist stone inscription dated 1502 is a later trace.

This is a historical Tangut word character, not a general-purpose symbol or emoji.
