Tangut Character ka¹

𗠽 is a Tangut character, with the reconstructed reading ka¹—a scholar's guide to its sound, not a translation. Tangut script was created under the Western Xia state around 1036 to write Tangut; it appeared in official, private, and religious texts, and survived the state's fall into the Yuan and Ming eras. Separate from Chinese despite its resemblance, it shares a written component with 𗛕, 𗴢, and 𗼥.
