tangut ideograph-177ba

Tangut character 177BA

𗞺 is a Tangut-script character; “TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-177BA” is its computer label, not a translation. The Tangut script was created around 1036 to write the Tangut language and express Western Xia identity; it served official records and Buddhist translations, then remained in use after the state fell, into the Ming dynasty. It shares a block-shaped look with Chinese writing but is distinct; Khitan influence is proposed, not settled.

Why does 𗞺 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.
