tangut ideograph-174ec

Tangut character 𗓬

𗓬 is a character in the Tangut script, used to write the language of the Western Xia (Xixia) state. Its Unicode name identifies the glyph, not its reading. Created around 1036 for state-building and modeled on Chinese and Khitan scripts, Tangut writing served Buddhist, legal, administrative, Confucian, military, and literary texts. A 1072 official document is among its earliest records; an inscription from 1502 shows it outlasted Western Xia.

Why does 𗓬 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.
