tangut ideograph-172aa

Tangut Ideograph 172AA

683/6136

𗊪 is a Tangut character distinct from Chinese writing, with no settled English gloss. As of 2026, English references give reconstructed readings. The Tangut script was created around 1036 for Western Xia administration and Buddhist translation, and remained in use for centuries after the state fell in 1227. 𗊪 appears in the 12th-century Tangut Homophones, a dictionary.

Text symbol

What 𗊪 means

Treat it as an unresolved historical entry. The form *low² is a reconstructed pronunciation, not a translation; the raised 2 is part of the notation, and other systems give different readings.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗊪 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
