What 𗔿 means
Use Rime Xunpin for Tangut input. As of 2026, it accepts a reconstructed reading, stroke entry, or four-corner codes based on a character’s corner strokes. Rime is an input-method framework; Xunpin is a Tangut scheme for it, and its setup calls for a Tangut-capable font.
What does 𗔿 mean?
It means “ceremony.” Its reconstructed Tangut reading is written lwaʔ: an l, a quick glide like the w in “we,” then an a like the a in “father,” ending with a brief closure in the throat. Tangut writing was created under the first Western Xia emperor around 1036 to record the Tangut language. It remained in use under Yuan and Ming rule after Western Xia fell, then fell out of use by the end of the Ming dynasty.
This character appears in a Tangut dictionary arranged by sound, a character-reference work, and a proverb text.
Its natural context is a Tangut text or a discussion of the historical script.
