tangut ideograph-174b1

Tangut character for age

1202/6136

𗒱 is a Tangut character meaning “age”; a 2025 scholarly estimate writes its Tangut pronunciation as świ¹ (the raised 1 marks tone, a pitch pattern). Created around 1036 to write the Tangut language for Western Xia, the script drew on Chinese writing while remaining distinct. It continued in Buddhist texts after the state fell; this exact glyph appears in the 12th-century Sea of Writing dictionary.

Why does 𗒱 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.
