Tangut Ideograph-179E6

2535/6136

𗧦 is glossed as “ceremony” in Li Fanwen’s 2008 dictionary. Tangut writing began about 1036 for the Western Xia state, after the Khitan made a script around 925; it appeared in government documents and Buddhist texts, helped define state identity, and survived under Yuan and Ming rule before becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Its forms resemble Chinese writing, but 𗧦 is Tangut, not Chinese.
