Tangut ideograph 1746E

It is a Tangut character, but its label does not give a translation. A dictionary and sentence context are needed to identify its word value. A scholarly cross-index lists it under lookup identifiers L4901 and #301; these point to entries, not English meanings.

Tangut was created by imperial order around 1036 for Western Xia, a medieval state in what is now northwestern China. It served government writing and Buddhist scripture, a collected body of Buddhist teachings. Surviving books include Chinese and Tibetan translations, Confucian classics (works linked to Confucius), military texts, encyclopedias, and literature.

Neighboring Khitan states also had their own scripts, part of a regional practice of writing for state identity. Tangut uses structural principles also found in Chinese writing, but was not derived directly from Chinese characters. It remained in use under the Yuan and early Ming dynasties, later periods of rule in China, after Western Xia fell.
