Tangut Character 1807E

The Unicode label is an identifier, not a translation. Unicode builds Tangut labels from code points, so this one names the sign rather than a Tangut word. To understand its meaning in a passage, look it up in a Tangut dictionary and read the surrounding text.

What happened to Tangut after Western Xia fell?

The writing tradition outlasted the kingdom by centuries. After the Mongol conquest in 1227, Tangut remained in use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties; by the end of the Ming dynasty, it had become obsolete. Scholars rediscovered books and inscriptions in the late 19th century. N. A. Nevskij’s work in the early 20th century helped decipher the language.
