Tangut Character for “To Curse”

4934/6136

𘍅 is a Tangut character glossed “to curse” in Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut–Chinese dictionary. Its script was created for the Western Xia state and Buddhist translations; though shaped by Chinese writing, Tangut is a separate system.

Text symbol

What 𘍅 means

It means “to curse.” Li Fanwen’s dictionary gives that gloss for this entry; the numbered Unicode name is only an identifier.

Is 𘍅 Chinese or Tangut?

It is Tangut, not Chinese. In 1036, the Western Xia court promulgated the script for official use and Buddhist scripture. Tangut writing drew visual and structural ideas from Chinese without deriving from it; its creators also followed neighboring Khitan states, whose scripts appeared about a century earlier. Surviving manuscripts from the 12th and early 13th centuries include Buddhist and secular translations.

Why does 𘍅 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
