tangut ideograph-17569

Tangut character 𗕩

1386/6136

𗕩 is a Tangut character glossed with the Chinese word 錐, which means an awl or cone. The Tangut script became official around 1036 to write the Tangut language and signal political independence; Tangut Buddhist texts continued after 1227. As of 2026, this character’s earliest surviving attestation is not securely dated.

Text symbol

What 𗕩 means

It is associated with an awl or cone. A Chinese-language index pairs it with 錐, a word for a pointed tool used to bore holes and for the cone shape it names.

A historical character from the Tangut writing system.

If 𗕩 appears as a box, the font or app usually lacks Tangut support; the text still contains this character.

Why does 𗕩 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.
