𗏬

tangut ideograph-173ec

Tangut character

𗏬 is a Tangut character in the script used to write the language of the Western Xia state. Unicode’s label “Tangut Ideograph-173EC” identifies the character; it is not an English translation. A Tangut dictionary of rhymes, Homophones, records it as a gloss for 𗯊—a written clue for another entry. BabelStone’s font table (checked in 2026) lists two source forms for this code point, so fonts can draw it differently.

What 𗏬 means

𗏬 is recorded as a gloss for 𗯊.

A gloss is a written clue that helps explain another entry. A reference note records 𗏬 as the gloss character for 𗯊 in entry 22B57 of Homophones, a Tangut rhyme dictionary. This links dictionary entries; it does not make the two characters interchangeable.

Why does 𗏬 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.
