Tangut Character 17C01

𗰁 is a Tangut character from the historical script for the Tangut language; it is not Chinese writing or an emoji. Its strokes resemble Chinese characters, but Tangut is a separate script with its own words. The script was established around 1036 under the Tangut-led Western Xia state to write Tangut and mark the state’s cultural independence. It served in official records and translations of Buddhist texts, and remained in use after the kingdom fell.
