tangut ideograph-185ec

Tangut character 185EC

𘗬 is a character in the Tangut script; its Unicode label identifies the code point, not the word or pronunciation. The Western Xia kingdom introduced Tangut writing in 1036 for government and Buddhist texts, drawing on Chinese models; Khitan influence is debated. The earliest surviving example is a 1072 official document, and writing continued into the mid-Ming period.
