Tangut Character 𗴽

It is a Tangut character; its reconstructed reading is not a word translation. The script was made for the Tangut language of the Western Xia state, also known as Xixia.

The script's conventional starting point is 1036, when Tangut ruler Li Yuanhao ordered a native writing system; later accounts associate its design with Yeli Renrong. Tangut rulers joined a regional pattern that included their Khitan neighbors, and the script helped mark a state identity distinct from Song China. It served official documents, Buddhist texts such as the Tangut Buddhist Canon, and secular works translated from Chinese.

After the Mongol conquest in the 13th century, Tangut writing fell out of daily use. Manuscripts preserved the script, which remained undeciphered for centuries.

Is 𗴽 Chinese?

No; it belongs to the Tangut script. Tangut characters were visually inspired by Chinese writing, but the script represented the Tangut language. That is a historical connection between writing systems; it does not establish a Chinese-character counterpart for 𗴽.
