Tangut Character 17D57

Text symbol

What 𗵗 means

A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “get” or “obtain.”

𗵗 belongs to Tangut script, commissioned in 1036 to produce a Buddhist canon—a collection of Buddhist scriptures—and give the state a distinct written identity. A manuscript found at Khara-khoto probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century; later Tangut books included Chinese works, Buddhist texts, and secular writing.

Historical and specialist; it belongs in Tangut-language and script study.
