What 𘛏 means
Scholars reconstruct its Tangut reading as na¹. It sounds roughly “nah”; the raised 1 marks the tone in this scholarly notation.
The Tangut script was established around 1036 for Western Xia administration, Buddhist translation, and a distinct state identity. It took visual cues from Chinese writing but formed its own script and language. Khara-Khoto manuscripts preserve translations, classics, and military works; Tangut writing continued after the Western Xia fell.
