What 𘦔 means
It is a part used to build or analyze a larger Tangut character.
A Tangut component is a graphic part catalogued to help identify and analyze complete Tangut characters. Some references use components as radicals, meaning indexing parts; that label does not make 𘦔 a translated word by itself. The component’s role depends on the whole character around it: Tangut characters can use graphic elements for meaning or sound.
Modern numbered component lists are scholarly indexing systems developed by different scholars, not one ancient inventory used unchanged. Tangut writing was created around 1036–37 for the language of the Tangut state and was used from the 11th century onward in Buddhist translations, printed works, legal records, and other writing.
How do I type Tangut Component-405?
Use a Tangut input method and a font with Tangut coverage.
As of 2026, Xunpin, a community schema for Rime (a customizable input framework), documents entry by reconstructed pronunciation, strokes, four-corner codes based on a character’s corner shapes, or components. A standard Latin or Chinese keyboard normally has no dedicated key for this component.
Input and display are separate: entry can succeed while a font without Tangut coverage shows an empty box. Fonts may draw the same encoded character with different stroke details; that changes its appearance, not its identity.
Used alone, it reads like a script-study or technical specimen rather than an ordinary message.
The component label is not a word gloss; its role comes from a larger character.

1Why does Tangut Component-405 show as a box?
Your active font lacks Tangut coverage. A Tangut-capable font supplies the character’s outline; the input can be correct even when the current font cannot draw it.
