Tangut character 𗰢

The documented gloss belongs to the title as a whole.

A 12th-century colophon—a note at the end of a manuscript—records 𗰢𗰤 as a two-character Tangut title naming a rank. Its scholarly Latin transcription is wo-jij, glossed “righteous and even”; that translation does not give a separate English meaning for each character.

Tangut writing was ordered in 1036 under Emperor Li Yuanhao to support state-building and a distinct Tangut identity alongside Song China; a major purpose was translating the Buddhist canon. Inspired by Chinese and neighboring Khitan scripts, it remained a distinct writing system. Surviving books include Buddhist scriptures, Confucian classics, encyclopedias, military treatises, and literature. An undated manuscript from Khara-Khoto is thought to date to the 12th or early 13th century.

What does it mean when someone sends 𗰢 alone?

Treat it as Tangut writing until context gives a reading.

Ask for the surrounding text or a translation before assigning it a meaning. That helps you tell whether it is a quotation, a character specimen, or part of a larger passage.
