tangut ideograph-173e9

Tangut Character 173E9

1002/6136

𗏩 means an old-fashioned belt in Tangut, Western Xia's language. The script was created around 1036 under Li Yuanhao, Western Xia's ruler, for official correspondence and Buddhist scripture translations, marking a state identity apart from Song China. Borrowing the visual principles of Chinese characters, it followed scripts created by neighboring Khitan people a century earlier, but remained separate; later it appeared in translations of nonreligious works and survived after Western Xia fell in 1227.

Why does 𗏩 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.
