tangut ideograph-172c5

Tangut character 𗋅

710/6136

𗋅 is a Tangut-script character, but its Unicode label and shape alone do not reveal its reading or meaning; consult a Tangut dictionary and the surrounding text. The Tangut script was commissioned in 1036 to support the state and translate Buddhist works; its forms drew visual inspiration from Chinese writing and developed amid the regional example of Khitan scripts. Surviving 12th- or early-13th-century manuscripts include Buddhist and secular texts, and Buddhist inscriptions continued in 1502.

Why does 𗋅 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.
