Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut dictionary lists 𗡧 as entry 0703 and gives dzji̱² as its reconstructed reading, in scholarly phonetic notation.
The script was created in 1036 for Western Xia; its design drew on Chinese and neighboring Khitan scripts. The earliest known surviving Tangut text is dated 1072. Tangut writings served government and Buddhist translation and include legal and literary works.
