Tangut Ideograph 172B0

𗊰 is a Tangut-script character, not a Chinese Han character or emoji; its Unicode name doesn't give its Tangut reading or meaning. The script began under Western Xia around 1036 CE; its oldest surviving example is an official document from 1072. It served records, teaching, translation, Buddhist texts, and law, remaining in use into the Ming period. Chinese and possible Khitan influence shaped it; display requires a Tangut-capable font.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗊰 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.
