What 𗀯 means
In Tangut, 𗀯 means “to finish” or “to complete.”
It appears in two 12th-century Tangut dictionaries: Wénhǎi (“Sea of Writing”) and Tóngyīn (“Homophones”).
The Tangut script, also called the Xixia script, was commissioned in 1036 by Li Yuanhao, ruler of the Western Xia state. It supported government, a Tangut Buddhist canon, and a written identity distinct from the neighboring Song dynasty. Surviving texts also include Confucian, military, and literary works.
How do I type 𗀯 without a Tangut keyboard?
A Tangut-specific input method is the practical route.
As of 2026, dedicated tools offer searches by reconstructed pronunciation, strokes, a dictionary radical (a filing component), or a four-corner shape code. These are specialist systems rather than a standard keyboard layout.
Why does 𗀯 show as a box?
A font without Tangut support cannot draw its strokes.
As of 2026, Tangut input-tool documentation notes that some mobile apps may show a box when they lack a Tangut font. The text character remains unchanged; the font supplies its visible form.
Historical and specialist: use it for the Tangut verb or script, not as a generic status icon.
Alone in general chat, it may look like an unidentified rare character, not “done.”

1Why does 𗀯 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
