Tangut Ideograph-17288

𗊈 means “to howl” in Tangut. It survives in scholarly dictionaries after Tangut ceased to be used in daily life; the script drew on Chinese and Khitan traditions but remained distinct.

Text symbol

What 𗊈 means

It describes an act of howling. The Tangut script was developed around 1036 for the Western Xia state, serving its government and Buddhist translation and marking an identity distinct from Song China.

Tangut texts include official, literary, Buddhist, and military writing, as well as Chinese and Tibetan material.

Why does 𗊈 show as a box?

The chosen font may lack Tangut characters, so the display substitutes a box.

Why does 𗊈 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.
