tangut ideograph-171ca

Tangut character 171CA

𗇊 is a Tangut character with no secure one-word English gloss as of 2026. The Tangut work Tóngyīn (“Homophones”) attests it in the 12th century; two other characters use it as a component, whose first stroke original sources draw differently from the Unicode 9.0 chart.

What 𗇊 means

No secure one-word English gloss is established as of 2026.

Reference works list scholarly reconstructions of the old Tangut reading; these are estimates of sound, not English translations. The Tangut script was created in 1036 for Western Xia state-building, with translating a Buddhist canon into Tangut as a major goal. The Tangut work Tóngyīn (“Homophones”) attests 𗇊 in the 12th century. Tangut texts also served medical, legal, and literary needs. Original Tangut sources draw the component’s first stroke horizontally; the Unicode 9.0 chart slants it.

Why does 𗇊 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.
