Tangut Character 180A3

𘂣 is a Tangut character whose exact word value depends on its entry and surrounding text. The script was used from 1036–1502 to write Tangut, the language of the Western Xia state. Its square forms echo Chinese writing, but the scripts have distinct characters and readings.

Text symbol

What 𘂣 means

Its shape alone does not reveal its word value.

The 12th-century Sea of Writing, a Tangut dictionary, lists 𘂣 as a head character—the main sign for an entry. Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao ordered the script in 1036; Chinese writing influenced its design.

Historical and scholarly.
