tangut ideograph-17194

Tangut character 17194

405/6136

As of 2026, no reliable English meaning is recorded for 𗆔, a Tangut character. Introduced in 1036, the Tangut (Xixia) script served the Western Xia state and Buddhist writing; its texts included translations and original works through the 12th–13th centuries. It is distinct from Chinese writing, though its character forms drew on Chinese models; Khitan scripts were another regional precedent. The 2016 Unicode date marks encoding, not origin.

Why does 𗆔 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.
