tangut ideograph-171a4

Tangut character 171A4

421/6136

𗆤 is a Tangut character whose standalone meaning remains unsettled as of 2026. Western Xia created Tangut writing by imperial decree about 1036 for official and cultural use; Buddhist texts used it as late as 1502. A 2025 Buddhist annotation glosses the pair 𘞌𗆤 as “sincere,” not 𗆤 alone.

Text symbol

What 𗆤 means

By itself, it has no settled gloss; read it in Tangut context.

Tangut resembles Chinese writing, but the scripts are unrelated and mutually illegible.

Fonts can draw it differently. Unicode groups some historical Tangut forms as one character and encodes others separately when a source distinguishes them.

A character from a historical writing system.

If someone sends it alone, ask for context; “sincere” describes 𘞌𗆤, the pair.

Why does 𗆤 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.
