tangut ideograph-17157

Tangut character 17157

344/6136

A Tangut input method such as Xunpin can enter 𗅗 by sound, strokes, components, or a code based on its four corners. It belongs to the Tangut writing system used for the Tangut language and the Xixia (Western Xia) state. In 2025, some devices needed a Tangut-capable font to display it.

What 𗅗 means

The Tangut dictionary gloss is “to crawl.”

A historical index to Gerard Clauson’s Tangut dictionary records this meaning. Around 1036, the Tangut state of Xixia, also called Western Xia, developed a script for the Tangut language. Chinese writing influenced its design, but Tangut remained a distinct system alongside the region’s Khitan and Jurchen writing systems.

For digital entry, a Tangut-specific input method such as Xunpin supports sound, strokes, components, or a code based on a character’s four corners.

A historical written character for Tangut texts or discussion, not an everyday message symbol.

Why does 𗅗 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.
