Tangut character 17B5E

Its dictionary gloss is “ring.”

Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary index pairs 𗭞 with Chinese 環 as a translation gloss; the pairing does not make them variant forms.

In 1036, Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao commissioned Tangut writing for state-building, Buddhist texts, and a written identity distinct from Song China. Surviving manuscripts from the 12th or early 13th century preserve Buddhist, classical, military, and literary works.

The script drew visual cues from Chinese characters and followed earlier script projects by the neighboring Khitan people, while writing Tangut.
