Tangut character 𗿸

𗿸 is a Tangut character whose scholarly reconstructed reading is written lhjwịj and whose dictionary gloss is “title.” Tangut writing served the Tangut-ruled Western Xia state and continued in religious, official, and private texts after it fell. Chinese influenced the script’s design, but 𗿸 is Tangut, not Chinese.

What 𗿸 means

It wrote the Tangut language in historical texts. Tangut writing emerged around 1036 for Western Xia, a state ruled by the Tangut people. After the state fell, the script remained in religious texts, official records, private writing, books, inscriptions, and manuscripts.

Chinese influenced the design of Tangut characters, but 𗿸 belongs to Tangut writing; it is not a Chinese character.

Historical and scholarly; opaque in ordinary chat.

Without Tangut context, readers may not understand it.
