Tangut character 𗑼

𗑼 is a Tangut character; its Unicode name isn't a translation. Western Xia rulers commissioned a script for the Tangut language in 1036 to mark the state’s distinct identity; its earliest surviving example is an official document from 1072. Used for official records and Buddhist translations during Western Xia rule, it survived the state’s fall into the mid-Ming period. Its square form echoes Chinese writing, but the script is distinct.
