tangut ideograph-173a0

Tangut character 173A0

929/6136

𗎠 is a character in the Tangut script; its exact English meaning was unsettled as of 2025. The Western Xia kingdom used Tangut writing for official, cultural, and Buddhist texts, and the script helped distinguish it from Song China. A Tangut dictionary of homophones—words with the same pronunciation—from the 12th century lists it. If it appears as a box, your font lacks the glyph.

Why does 𗎠 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.
