Tangut character 1771A

𗜚 is listed as Tangut L4126; scholars’ reconstructed reading is Latin-script “jo,” not a translation. Tangut (Xixia) writing began around 1036 for state administration, Buddhist texts, and political identity, later serving secular translations. At Khara-khoto’s ruins in Inner Mongolia, a Tangut manuscript probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century. Influenced by Chinese and Khitan traditions, it remained in use into the Yuan and Ming periods before becoming obsolete.
