Tangut Character 1720A

𗈊 is a character in the Tangut (Xixia) script, but no English gloss is listed for it as of 2026. Created around 1036 under Western Xia's first emperor, the script served official, private, and religious texts, continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and became obsolete by the end of the Ming period. Its forms resemble Chinese characters, but Tangut is a separate script and cannot be read as Chinese.

Why does 𗈊 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.
