Tangut character

Its Unicode name is an inventory label, not a word translation.

Tangut character names are generated from catalog numbers. To identify the word 𗢙 represents in a passage, consult a Tangut dictionary and read the surrounding sentence.

Why does 𗢙 look Chinese?

Tangut is a separate script, despite the visual resemblance.

The script was created under the first emperor of Western Xia about 1036 to write the Tangut language, spoken in what is now northwestern China. Tangut texts include official and private writing, religious books and sutras (Buddhist scriptures), inscriptions, and manuscripts.

After Western Xia fell to the Mongols, people continued to use the script during the Yuan and Ming dynasties; it was obsolete by the end of Ming. Scholars rediscovered Tangut in the late 19th century and largely deciphered it through early 20th century work by N. A. Nevskij. Today it is studied as its own field.

How can I type or display 𗢙?

A Tangut input method handles entry; a Tangut font handles display.

The Tangut Rime input method accepts reconstructed phonetic input and also offers stroke and four-corner entry.

If a font lacks Tangut coverage, 𗢙 can appear as a box or empty square. That placeholder is a display problem; the underlying character is unchanged.
