Tangut Character 1849C

𘒜 is a Tangut character glossed “to hate.” The Tangut script was created around 1036 under the first emperor of Western Xia (Xixia) to write Tangut, a language of northwest China, and mark their state as distinct, after neighboring Khitan people had created scripts. It borrowed Chinese writing’s visual principles without deriving from it, served official, private, Buddhist, and translated texts, and lasted into the Ming period before becoming obsolete.
