tangut ideograph-178be

Tangut character 𗢾

2239/6136

𗢾 means “alone” in Tangut, an extinct language. Tangut writing resembles Chinese writing and may have been modeled on it, but knowing Chinese does not let you read Tangut. The character appears mainly in historical texts and scholarship; a font without Tangut support may show a box.

Text symbol

What 𗢾 means

It means “alone” in Tangut.

Western Xia, a kingdom in northwest China, established Tangut script by imperial decree around 1036 for official writing and translations of Buddhist and Chinese works.

Tangut writing outlasted Western Xia; the latest known dated texts are from 1502. Manuscripts, bilingual word lists, and dictionaries preserve its vocabulary.

Is 𗢾 Chinese?

No. Tangut script resembles Chinese writing and may have been modeled on it, but the two scripts are mutually unreadable. Knowing Chinese does not reveal 𗢾’s Tangut meaning.

Historical and scholarly; a reference to Tangut texts or typography.

Why does 𗢾 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
