Tangut character 174FF

Use a specialist Tangut input method and a Tangut-capable font. As of 2026, the community Xunpin scheme for Rime, an input-method framework, accepts reconstructed Tangut spellings in Latin letters, stroke input, and Four Corners codes based on character shape. Its dictionary must include this exact character.

Input and display are separate: a working input method can insert 𗓿 while a missing Tangut font may show a box. Tangut source traditions also preserve variant glyph shapes, so fonts can draw the same encoded character differently.

Is 𗓿 Chinese?

No. 𗓿 belongs to the separate Tangut script. Tangut was used to write a Tibeto-Burman language. Its resemblance to Chinese characters does not make it Chinese writing or supply a Chinese reading or translation.

Tangut writing was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 for official and cultural use. Surviving texts include official, private, and religious works such as books, sutras, inscriptions, and manuscripts.

After Western Xia fell, Tangut continued in Yuan and Ming texts before becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. The structural description of 𗓿 puts one Tangut component above three others; that describes its written form, not its meaning.
