tangut ideograph-171e4

Tangut character 𗇤

485/6136

As of 2026-09-16, 𗇤 has a reconstructed reading written *tswa¹, but no settled English translation. The Tangut script, also called the Xixia script, is a distinct historical writing system: it emerged in the 11th century for state records and Buddhist translations and continued beyond the Western Xia period. The 11th-century date marks the script's emergence, not this individual character's age.

What 𗇤 means

As of 2026-09-16, its English meaning remains unresolved.

The reconstructed reading is written *tswa¹, a scholarly estimate of the character's historical sound rather than its translation. Catalog references include 1143 and L2008-1143.

𘠛 is listed as a component—a smaller written element used to analyze 𗇤's structure. Font-rendering differences can change the glyph's drawing without changing the encoded character.

Why does 𗇤 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.
