What 𗨶 means

The surrounding Tangut text shows how this character is used.

𗨶 belongs to Tangut, the writing system for the now-extinct Tangut language. The neighboring characters and passage help identify the word or form intended.

The script was created around 1036 for the Western Xia state and drew on Chinese writing. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in Buddhist texts into the Yuan and early Ming dynasties, which later ruled China.

How do I type or display 𗨶?

Use a Tangut input method and a font the app can access.

For repeated entry, specialist Tangut input methods can use stroke codes or reconstructed pronunciation, but they need setup.

If 𗨶 appears as an empty box, the app does not have an available font that can render it. A browser web font may render it on that page without adding Tangut support to other programs.

Historical and specialist by default; this character belongs in a Tangut text, quotation, or discussion.

Alone, it cannot tell the reader which Tangut word the sender intended.
