Tangut was created as a state writing system for the Tangut language. Its earliest transmitted example is an official military document dated 1072.
After Western Xia fell in 1227, Buddhist texts continued to use Tangut. It is distinct from Chinese despite documented Chinese influence; Khitan influence has been proposed but remains debated.
A historical character; its script and setting give it context.
