A Tangut word glossed as “premature delivery.”

A Tangut–Chinese dictionary index gives this English gloss. It translates the historical word; it does not describe the character's shape.

To understand 𘚛 in a passage, you need Tangut vocabulary and context.

Is 𘚛 Chinese?

No. 𘚛 belongs to the distinct Tangut script.

Tangut writing was created around 1036 under the first emperor of the Western Xia (Xixia) state for official use and for translating Buddhist and Chinese works. Its characters draw on Chinese visual conventions and use structural components, but the writing system is distinct from Chinese.

Tangut remained in use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties and became obsolete by the end of the Ming. Its texts include official, private, and religious works.

How do I type 𘚛?

Use hexadecimal Unicode input in an editor that supports it.

If your editor offers hexadecimal Unicode entry, enter 1869B and run its conversion command; the shortcut varies by app. Because the character is outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, older input paths may split or drop it.

A font may draw Tangut characters in different glyph forms. If 𘚛 appears as a box, the font or app may lack Tangut coverage; the encoded character can still be intact.
