Tangut character 17523

𗔣 is a character in the Tangut script; “Tangut Ideograph-17523” is an index label, not a translation, so consult a Tangut dictionary for its reading. Created around 1036 under Xixia (Western Xia) to write Tangut, the script drew on Chinese character structure but records a different language; it served government, culture, and Buddhist texts. It remained in use after Xixia fell, then became obsolete by the Ming dynasty's end.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗔣 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
