tangut ideograph-18448

Tangut Character 18448

𘑈 means “to stretch” in a Tangut dictionary. Western Xia’s first emperor commissioned the Tangut script in 1036 for state-building; scholars think Buddhist translation was a key aim. Its design drew on Chinese writing and followed earlier scripts used by neighboring Khitan people; it also carried Chinese translations, and some Tangut Buddhist texts date from after Western Xia fell in 1227.
