tangut ideograph-17636

Tangut character 17636

1591/6136

𗘶 is a Tangut character; its numeric Unicode name does not give its Tangut word or reading. The Tangut script was created around 1036 for the Western Xia state, drawing on Chinese writing and the Khitan example of a separate state script; it served government and Buddhist texts. As of 2023, the latest known Tangut inscription dates to 1502, long after Western Xia fell.

Why does 𗘶 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.
