Tangut Ideograph 1799A

2459/6136

𗦚 is a Tangut character; its Unicode label identifies it but does not give its Tangut meaning. The Tangut script took shape around 1036 for the Western Xia state, to write Tangut in official, Buddhist, and legal texts. It outlasted the state: inscriptions continued into the 16th century, including one dated 1502.

Text symbol

What 𗦚 means

The Unicode label identifies the entry; it does not translate 𗦚.

It is a number-based identifier, not a Tangut word or pronunciation. To work out what the character means in a passage, read it in its surrounding Tangut text.

Is 𗦚 Chinese or Tangut?

It is Tangut, not Chinese.

The square-shaped Tangut script reflects influence from Chinese and Khitan writing, but it was built to write the Tangut language. Khitan was another historical writing system; the resemblance does not make this glyph a Chinese character.
