Tangut ideograph 17ECF

3792/6136

𗻏 is a Tangut character; its Unicode label identifies it but does not translate it. The script was developed in 1036–1037 for Western Xia state-building and Buddhist translation, and later carried legal, Confucian, military, and literary writing. The 12th-century Sea of Writing, a Tangut dictionary arranged by rhyming sounds, lists this character.

Text symbol

What 𗻏 means

Its word meaning needs Tangut text context. Tangut writing records the Tangut language, and its character design drew partly on Chinese and Khitan writing.

Use a Tangut dictionary and neighboring text to identify and translate the word. The Unicode label names the character; it does not supply that reading.

Historical and specialist; its meaningful setting is Tangut texts and script study.

The Unicode label is an identifier, not an English gloss.
