Tangut character 17C86

𗲆 is a Tangut character, not a Chinese one. Its Chinese-like strokes may suggest Chinese writing, but the scripts are distinct; the code-point-based Unicode name gives no historical reading.

Traditional Tangut books used vertical columns read top to bottom and right to left, like Chinese books. After Western Xia fell to the Mongols, Tangut continued in Yuan and Ming texts, became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty, and was rediscovered in the late 19th century. Proposed Khitan influence remains debated.
