tangut ideograph-18556

Tangut character 18556

5463/6136

𘕖 is a Tangut case marker for “with” or “by”: it marks what an action uses. In Tangut texts, the same marker can also link clauses through means or cause, so one English word will not fit every sentence. It is a text character, not an emoji.

Text symbol

What 𘕖 means

It marks an instrument or cause in a Tangut sentence.

A Tangut instrumental marker shows what enables an action: in one example, it marks water used to wash a face. The same marker can link clauses through means or cause, so “with” is a starting gloss; read the whole sentence. A grammar review compares one clause-linking use with Tibetan kyis/gyis, another marker used for “by” or “with.”

The Tangut script was established as a state writing system in 1036–37. An official dispatch survives from 1072; the script served records, teaching, and translations of Chinese works. It drew mainly on Chinese writing, with possible Khitan influence. Its use outlasted Western Xia: a Buddhist inscription in Tangut is dated 1502.
