Tangut Ideograph 17344

837/6136

𗍄 means “wind” in Tangut. Western Xia used Tangut for government, Buddhist works and Chinese translations; Tangut's earliest transmitted document dates to 1072. Tangut writing survived Western Xia's 1227 fall; an inscription is dated 1502. The script borrowed ideas from how Chinese characters are built and developed alongside Khitan writing traditions, while remaining a separate writing system; in ordinary chat, treat it as a Tangut text sample, not a reaction.

Why does it show as a box?

It can be a font issue: without Tangut coverage, the character may appear as a box or fallback mark. The text still contains the same character.
