Tangut Ideograph-17F36

3895/6136

𗼶 is a Tangut character glossed “turn toward” or “face.” In a translation of The General’s Garden, a military text attributed to Zhuge Liang, it corresponds to Chinese 向 (“toward”). Tangut script was a separate way to write the Tangut language, influenced by Chinese forms; created in 1036 for the Western Xia state and Buddhist canon (a collection of Buddhist texts), it remained in use into the early sixteenth century.
