Tangut character 174D5

1238/6136

𗓕 is Tangut character 4987; its Chinese dictionary gloss 褪 spans taking something off, shedding, fading, and retreating, and the sentence determines which sense fits. It comes from a writing system made for the Western Xia dynasty’s government and Buddhist texts. A font without Tangut coverage may display it as an empty box.

Text symbol

What 𗓕 means

It covers taking off, shedding, fading, or retreat.

Li Fanwen’s Tangut–Chinese dictionary indexes it as Tangut character 4987 (L2008-4987), with the Chinese gloss 褪. That word covers removing something, losing color, or moving back, so context determines the intended sense.

The Tangut script was introduced in 1036 for the Western Xia dynasty’s government and culture, including Buddhist translation and printing. Tangut writing continued after the dynasty fell in 1227; a known later example dates to 1502.

Why does 𗓕 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.
