tangut ideograph-172dc

Tangut character 𗋜

733/6136

As of 2026, 𗋜’s English meaning remains unsettled; its reconstructed Tangut reading is written as “tsja²” or “tsa²” in scholarly Latin letters. A 12th-century Tangut dictionary groups it with sound-alikes. Created for Western Xia (Xixia) around 1036–1037, Tangut writing resembles Chinese but is distinct; it served government, Buddhist, and legal texts. It outlasted the state; the latest-known inscription dates to 1502, and a possible link to Khitan writing remains debated.

Why does 𗋜 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.
