Tangut 𗸛

A Tangut wordbook glosses 𗸛 as “coma.” Tangut writing served Western Xia (Xixia) and survived in Yuan and Ming texts; squares usually signal missing Tangut font support.

Text symbol

What 𗸛 means

“Coma” is the wordbook gloss.

The entry is L0783. The Unicode name labels the code point, not the meaning.

Developed under Western Xia around 1036, the script served government and Buddhist texts. Tangut texts persisted under Yuan and Ming rule, sometimes with Chinese and Tibetan translations; it became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Is 𗸛 a Chinese character? No: Tangut adapted Chinese writing principles but remained distinct.

Why does 𗸛 show as a square?

A missing Tangut-capable font is the usual cause. The character remains valid Unicode; it needs a font with Tangut coverage to display.
