Tangut character 17492

1171/6136

In Tangut reference material, 𗒒 is glossed as “roundworm,” an intestinal parasite. It belongs to the distinct writing system of Western Xia. A box on screen can mean the font lacks Tangut glyphs, while the text itself remains intact.

Text symbol

What 𗒒 means

It is a Tangut character for an intestinal worm.

The Tangut script was created around 1036 under Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao to serve the state’s government and Buddhist texts.

It drew on Chinese and Khitan script models but remained distinct. Tangut writing continued under Yuan and Ming rule after Western Xia fell, before eventually giving way to historical study.
