Tangut Character 182DF

𘋟 is a Tangut character, but its label is not a translation.

The Tangut (Xixia) script was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 to write the Tangut language. It stayed in use after the Mongol conquest, including under the Yuan and Ming dynasties, then fell out of use by the end of the Ming dynasty. Scholars rediscovered Tangut texts in the late 19th century; early 20th-century work deciphered much of the script, with bilingual materials and dictionaries helping modern study.

A title index is a lookup list: one modern Tangut index records 𘋟 at the start of a title. That confirms a historical occurrence, but not a standalone English gloss; use surrounding Tangut text or a specialist dictionary to read it.

How can I type 𘋟?

Use a specialist Tangut dictionary or input method.

Some tools let you search by a known character, its meaning, or its reconstructed pronunciation. If you do not know the reading, use the surrounding text or a specialist reference to identify the entry.

Why does 𘋟 appear as a box?

A missing Tangut font can make it appear as a square.

The text can be valid even when a font cannot draw the glyph. A Tangut-capable font is needed to display its intended form; substituting another character changes the text instead of fixing the font.
