Tangut character 17BC6

𗯆 means “to jump” in Tangut. Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary places it under entry 5520. Its reconstructed reading appears as *mjɨ̣², specialist notation for an extinct language rather than a pronunciation from a modern speaker.

The Tangut script was created under Western Xia (Xixia) imperial patronage around 1036 for government and cultural work. It served administration, education, Buddhist translations, and inscriptions; the last known example of Tangut writing is dated 1502. Its surviving texts are studied as historical and linguistic sources.

What if someone sends 𗯆 alone?

Read it as a reference to the Tangut script. Outside a Tangut text, treat it as a reference to the historical script. In a quotation or discussion of Tangut, give its translation and label *mjɨ̣² as a scholarly reconstruction. If used decoratively, identify the script as Tangut.

Why does 𗯆 look different on my screen?

Font coverage controls whether it appears. A font without Tangut coverage may show a missing-character box or a fallback glyph. Fonts that support it can draw the strokes differently because Unicode’s sample is a reference, not a required design.

If you cannot enter it directly, use a code-point escape supported by your markup or programming language.
