tangut ideograph-18244

Tangut character 18244

4677/6136

𘉄 is a Tangut character glossed as “witticism,” a clever or funny remark. In 1036, the Xixia (Western Xia) court created Tangut writing for its language, state identity, and Buddhist texts; it also translated Chinese classics. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut continued in Yuan Buddhist printing; a sutra edition dates to 1247. Though inspired by Chinese writing and Khitan state-script precedents, Tangut is a distinct script.
