tangut ideograph-171b6

Tangut character 171B6

439/6136

𗆶 is a Tangut character; its meaning is not settled in English as of 2026. Created in 1036 for the Western Xia kingdom, the Tangut script served government and the translation of Buddhist texts. It drew on Chinese writing and earlier scripts of the Khitan people but formed a distinct system. The script's founding date does not establish this glyph's first surviving use, which is not securely dated as of 2026.

Why does 𗆶 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.
