Tangut character 𗬑

It writes the sound of a word or name from another language.

A Tangut dictionary by Li Fanwen glosses this character as “a transliteration”: a way to write a word or name from another language by sound rather than translate its meaning. That describes a writing function, not an object or a simple English word meaning.

Tangut writing developed under imperial authority during the Western Xia period for official and cultural writing. After the empire fell, it continued in official, private, and religious texts into the Yuan and Ming periods, then ceased to be used.

How do I type 𗬑?

Use a Tangut input method rather than a standard keyboard layout.

Rime Xunpin, a Tangut input schema for the Rime framework, maps the key sequence tjy to 𗬑. Here tjy is an input code, not a universal pronunciation spelling. The same schema also offers stroke and four-corner modes, listed in the typing methods.
