Tangut Ideograph 17169

362/6136

𗅩 is a Tangut character, but its Unicode label does not tell you which word it represents. The Tangut (Xixia) script took shape under Western Xia rule around 1036 for government and Buddhist texts. Its design drew on Chinese writing and the earlier Khitan script tradition while remaining distinct; Tangut writing served official, private, and religious purposes through China's Yuan and Ming dynasties before falling out of use.

Text symbol

What 𗅩 means

The Unicode label identifies the character; it is not a translation.

To find its reading and meaning, consult a Tangut dictionary and the surrounding passage. Scholarly catalogues cross-reference individual characters to dictionary entries.

Why does 𗅩 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.
