tangut ideograph-173ce

Tangut character 173CE

975/6136

Unicode lists no modern-language translation for 𗏎 as of 2026; its standardized label names the character, not its meaning in a Tangut text. 𗏎 is a Tangut character in the script used by the Western Xia state. Created in 1036 for state-building and Buddhist translation, Tangut writing drew on Chinese writing while remaining distinct; Khitan scripts came earlier. It remained in religious use on stone pillars erected in 1502.

Why does 𗏎 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.
