Tangut character 𗓋

Use a Unicode hexadecimal input method on desktop.

A hexadecimal value is a code written with digits and letters. As of 2026, Windows Word or Outlook accepts it followed by Alt+X; Linux apps built with GTK, a common app toolkit, use Ctrl+Shift+U, then the value and Space or Enter. As of 2026, macOS Unicode Hex Input accepts four hex digits, so use Character Viewer, its built-in character search, for this five-digit value. As of 2026, iOS and Android have no official hexadecimal entry method; use a third-party keyboard that includes Tangut.

What does 𗓋 mean?

In Tangut, 𗓋 is glossed “go.”

Unicode generates the name from the character’s assigned number. That identifies the encoded sign but does not translate the Tangut word. A dictionary gloss supplies the meaning the Unicode label leaves out.

When did Tangut writing begin?

The Tangut writing system was commissioned in 1036.

Western Xia was a medieval Tangut state; its court commissioned a native script for government writing and to express a distinct Tangut identity. The earliest transmitted dated document is from 1072. Tangut writing carried state records, Buddhist scripture, Chinese classics, military works and secular texts. It continued after Western Xia fell in 1227; an inscription from 1502 is later evidence.

The Tangut script followed Chinese character-making principles and developed alongside Khitan writing. That is a historical connection at the script level; it does not make 𗓋 a Chinese or Khitan character.
