Tangut ideograph 182FB

It is glossed as “difference” or “contrast.”

Li Fanwen’s index to a Tangut–Chinese dictionary lists 𘋻 under “difference” (entry 5708) and reconstructs its reading as *źju². This is a historical dictionary gloss, not a complete account of the character’s use.

Tangut was developed for the Western Xia state around 1036 and used in official, private, and religious writing. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut texts continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties. A later example is the 1502 Baoding pillars inscribed with dhāraṇī, short Buddhist ritual formulas.

Is 𘋻 Chinese?

No. It is a character in the Tangut script.

Tangut and Chinese writing can share a square visual style, but Tangut is a separate script. A Chinese dictionary gloss translates a Tangut entry; it does not make 𘋻 a Chinese character.

Scholarly Tangut pronunciation reconstructions for 𘋻 differ: Li Fanwen gives *źju², while Miyake’s phonetic database gives *²zhu₃. These are reconstructed readings, not Mandarin pronunciations.
