tangut ideograph-17d5e

Tangut character

𗵞 is a Tangut character; 𗵞𘌎 is an attested expression for “grain or foodstuff,” found in a grain account dated 1182. The script’s square characters resemble Chinese writing but record the Tangut language. It was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036; it served official records and Buddhist texts, and use continued after 1227. As of 2025, the latest datable Tangut texts are inscriptions from 1502.
