Tangut Sign 𗄆

263/6136

𗄆 is a Tangut (Xixia) sign that transcribes how 招 was read in Middle Chinese, an older stage of Chinese; it records a sound, not 招’s meaning. A blank box means the font in use lacks Tangut support.

Text symbol

What 𗄆 means

It is a sound-based Tangut transliteration of 招.

Middle Chinese is an older stage of Chinese; here, 𗄆 records 招’s reading, not its meaning.

Tangut (also called Xixia) writing was created around 1036 under the first emperor of the Western Xia dynasty to write the Tangut language. It appeared in official and private records and Buddhist texts. After Western Xia fell in 1227, it continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties until becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.

Why does 𗄆 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.
