Tangut ideograph 170AF

176/6136

𗂯 is a character in the Tangut script. Unicode’s catalog label identifies it by code but does not give its reading or meaning. Tangut writing developed in the 11th-century Western Xia (Xixia) state and served official and Buddhist texts; manuscripts and inscriptions attest its use through 1502. Chinese writing clearly influenced Tangut; whether the Khitan script also did remains debated. A blank or box can mean your font lacks the glyph.

Why does 𗂯 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.
