tangut ideograph-173b9

Tangut character 173B9

954/6136

𗎹 is a Tangut character; its label identifies the sign, not its reading or meaning. Emperor Li Yuanhao commissioned Tangut writing in 1036 to build the Western Xia state and translate Buddhist texts, following the neighboring Khitan people, who had created two scripts a century earlier. Its forms drew on Chinese writing without deriving from it; use continued after Western Xia fell in 1227, with evidence as late as 1502.

Why does 𗎹 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.
