Tangut character 𗥵

2422/6136

𗥵 is a Tangut character, not a Chinese character; a Tangut–Chinese dictionary glosses it as 拊, meaning “to stroke or pat lightly.” The Tangut script was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state and its language, drawing on Chinese writing and the neighboring Khitan people's earlier example of making a state script. It served official records, Buddhist scripture and secular books, and remained in use after Western Xia fell.
