tangut ideograph-17d5c

Tangut character 𗵜

3421/6136

A Tangut dictionary glosses 𗵜 as “source,” a starting point or origin. Tangut writing was created under the Western Xia state around 1036 for official, private, and religious writing. It remained in use through the Yuan and Ming periods, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming. In a modern chat, read it as historical text, not a familiar reaction; display may require a Tangut-capable font.
