Text symbol

What 𘟈 means

Its reconstructed reading is written lji̱ in scholarly transliteration. That spelling records a scholarly reconstruction; it is not an English word to sound out.

The Tangut script was created around 1036 for the Western Xia state. It drew on Chinese writing and took shape while Khitan writing systems were also being developed, yet it remained a separate script for the Tangut language. A document dated 1070/1071 may be the earliest surviving Tangut text with a date.

Historical and specialist; 𘟈 belongs in Tangut text or discussion of the script.
