Tangut Ideograph 17630

1585/6136

𗘰 is a Tangut character; its numbered Unicode label identifies the graph, not its meaning. One reconstruction writes its reading as bia̱², roughly “bi-a”; superscript ² marks tone, so this is pronunciation notation, not an English gloss. A blank box usually means the font lacks Tangut coverage.

Text symbol

What 𗘰 means

The serial Unicode name identifies the graph, not its Tangut word.

One reconstruction writes the reading as bia̱²; the superscript ² marks tone. This is a proposed Tangut pronunciation, not an English definition.

Tangut writing emerged in 11th-century Western Xia (Xixia); its earliest transmitted document is dated 1072. The script helped mark the state's identity, then carried Chinese moral and Buddhist works in translation. Inscriptions show it remained in use after the dynasty fell. Scholars compare Tangut's Chinese-influenced design with Khitan and Jurchen writing traditions.

Why does 𗘰 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.
