Tangut character 𗧊

It means “come out” or “bring forth”; context picks the English verb.

𗧊 is a Tangut verb. It can describe something emerging, being produced, or being born; the neighboring words decide which English verb fits.

In a passage about grain, “sprout” or “grow” can fit better than “be born.” The pairing 𗧊𘎳 can mean “produce” or “be born,” while 𗧊𗜓 can mean “appear.”

Where was 𗧊 used historically?

It was written under Western Xia, then for centuries after its fall.

The Tangut script was Western Xia’s official writing system. Created around 1036, it served government, helped mark the state’s identity apart from the Song dynasty in China, and supported a Buddhist canon—a collection of sacred texts. It drew on Chinese character design; the Khitan, an earlier regional state, provided a precedent for creating a state script.

Tangut writing carried official and private records, laws, Buddhist scripture, translations, and literature. After Western Xia fell in 1227, people continued writing Tangut for centuries; the latest known inscription is dated 1502.

What does it mean if someone sends 𗧊?

They are likely quoting Tangut, not sending a ready-made mood.

Someone who reads Tangut can recognize a verb; a reader unfamiliar with the script may see only an unknown glyph—or a box if their font lacks Tangut coverage.

A lone 𗧊 has no single English gloss. Ask for the sentence or a translation if the meaning matters.
