tangut ideograph-17138

Tangut character 17138

313/6136

𗄸 is a Tangut character glossed as trade, peddling, or a vendor. Created around 1036 for government work in Western Xia, the Tangut kingdom, and to translate Buddhist and Chinese texts, the Tangut script stayed in use into the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Those dates belong to the script, not this character. A box in its place may mean your font lacks Tangut support.

Text symbol

What 𗄸 means

Yes: it has a trade or peddling gloss.

A Tangut dictionary index links 𗄸 to Chinese 販, meaning “to sell” or “a small trader.” That gloss does not make 𗄸 a Chinese character.

Why does 𗄸 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
