tangut ideograph-177a6

Tangut character for smoking food

1959/6136

𗞦 means “to smoke food,” especially meat—to prepare or preserve it with smoke. It is a Tangut-script character, not a Chinese character or emoji. Tangut writing served the Tangut language in the Western Xia kingdom and later fell out of use; manuscripts, inscriptions, and printed books preserve it. A related character, 𗿉, means “smoke” or “mist.”

What 𗞦 means

𗞦 means “to smoke food”; 𗿉 means “smoke” or “mist.”

𗿉 combines 𘔳, a Tangut character associated with steam or smoke, and a component of 𗞦. Its written structure links the action of smoking food with smoke or mist.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗞦 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.

Why is 𗞦 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
