tangut ideograph-176f9

Tangut character 176F9

1786/6136

𗛹 is a Tangut character meaning “desolate and boundless.” Around 1036, the Western Xia (Xixia) state created its script to write its language, mark its independence, and translate Buddhist texts. Its design drew on Chinese writing and an earlier Khitan model; after Western Xia fell, it remained in use through the Ming before becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Texts let scholars decipher it; Unicode names it by code number, not meaning.

Why does 𗛹 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.
