What 𘚬 means
A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “to be whizzing.”
Why does it resemble Chinese writing?
Tangut is a separate script with visual influence from Chinese.
Made to write Tangut in the Western Xia kingdom in northwestern China around 1036, the script took visual cues from Chinese. Historians link its distinct form to the Xia court’s bid for political and cultural distance from Song China. Its texts include Buddhist works and Chinese writing on ethics, warfare, and literature.
