tangut ideograph-17536

Tangut character 𗔶

1335/6136

𗔶 is a Tangut character; “Tangut Ideograph-17536” identifies it, not its meaning. Created around 1036 for Tangut, the language of Western Xia (Xixia), the script appeared in official, private, and religious texts, including Buddhist translations from Chinese and Tibetan, and continued after the fall of Western Xia, becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Modeled on Chinese writing, Tangut remains unreadable as Chinese and needs a Tangut-capable font.

Why does 𗔶 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.
