Tangut Ideograph-17104

261/6136

𗄄 is a Tangut character that Li Fanwen’s Tangut dictionary lists as an alternate form of 𗇫; the linked entry’s English gloss is “to build.” The Tangut script, also called Xixia, was commissioned for Western Xia and made official in 1036 for government and Buddhist texts. Chinese-influenced but distinct, it developed alongside the Khitan and Jurchen state scripts; manuscripts from Khara-Khoto, an abandoned city, later helped scholars recover it.

Why does 𗄄 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.
