tangut ideograph-17338

Tangut character 𗌸

825/6136

The Tangut character 𗌸 has no secure English translation when it appears alone. Tangut writing served Western Xia in official, private, and religious texts. If you meet it by itself, treat it as an unidentified historical character; its resemblance to Chinese writing does not make it Chinese.

Text symbol

What 𗌸 means

Its standalone English gloss remains unsettled.

Tangut script was created around 1036 for the Tangut language and the Western Xia state. It appears in official and private records, books, sutras, inscriptions, and manuscripts, and remained in use through the Yuan and Ming dynasties. It became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Unicode's numbered label identifies this character by number, not by its Tangut reading or translation. A blank box can mean the font lacks Tangut coverage.

Why does 𗌸 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.
