Tangut character for cattail

𘀔 means “cattail,” a wetland plant, in Tangut. It belongs to the Tangut script, not Chinese: Chinese writing influenced the separate script that wrote the Tangut language. The Western Xia court introduced the script in 1036 to support the state and mark Tangut identity; it served legal and Buddhist writing, which continued after the state fell in 1227. Its computer label identifies the character, not its meaning.
