Tangut Ideograph 174D6

𗓖 is a Tangut character; its reconstructed reading is not a translation.

The Tangut pronunciation reconstructed in Li Fanwen’s 2008 dictionary data is written *gja̱²; this is specialist transcription, not an English sound guide. As of 2026, no dependable standalone English gloss is established for the entry.

The Tangut script, also called the Xixia script, was created under the first emperor of Western Xia, a Tangut kingdom in northwestern China, around 1036 to write the Tangut language and serve official and cultural life. Tangut texts include books, sutras, inscriptions, and manuscripts. Use continued through the Yuan and Ming periods; the script was obsolete by the end of Ming. It was rediscovered in the late 19th century and largely deciphered in the early 20th.

Is 𗓖 a Chinese character?

No. It belongs to the separate Tangut script.

Tangut characters have a square, ideograph-like style familiar from Chinese writing, but the script has its own signs for the Tangut language. A similar shape cannot tell you a Han-character meaning or reading.

The Unicode label “TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-174D6” is generated from the code point. It identifies a record, not a Tangut word or its meaning.
