Text symbol

What 𗰸 means

It is the Tangut verb for “to cut.”

Tangut writing was created around 1036 for the Tangut language and the state of Western Xia. Its characters may resemble Chinese characters, but Tangut is a distinct script. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued in Yuan- and Ming-era materials, including Buddhist texts.

𗰸 belongs to the Tangut script, created for the Tangut language; it is not a Chinese character.

Sent alone, its meaning may be lost on someone who cannot read Tangut.
