tangut ideograph-185b6

Tangut character for saw

5559/6136

𘖶 is a Tangut word for a toothed hand tool that cuts material: a saw. It is a word, not a drawing; one character alone gives little clue why someone mentioned the tool. Ask for the surrounding sentence before reading a bigger message into it.

Text symbol

What 𘖶 means

The dictionary gloss is “saw.”

Tangut was the language of Western Xia, a state in northwestern China. Its square script, influenced by Chinese writing, was created around 1036 for official and cultural use. After the state fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued under Yuan and Ming rule, in Buddhist translations and other books. This character belongs to Tangut, not Chinese.
