What 𗞻 means
The Tangut character 𗞻 is glossed “jaw.”
Tangut script was created in 1036 under Li Yuanhao, ruler of the Tangut-led Western Xia kingdom, for state-building and a Tangut Buddhist canon. Tangut writing later carried Buddhist texts, Chinese translations, and some Tibetan material.
A Tangut manuscript leaf from Khara-khoto probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century.
Why does 𗞻 show as a box?
The selected font lacks a Tangut glyph.
A missing-glyph box means the font cannot display this text character; the text itself is still intact.
Tangut input methods can offer stroke-code or phonetic entry, and some tools add reverse lookup or handwriting input.
Can I send 𗞻 by itself?
Yes, when the message is about Tangut writing.
If the reader needs its meaning, add the gloss “jaw”; the character’s shape does not explain the word.
Its natural setting is Tangut study or historical texts, not general-purpose chat.
The strokes alone do not reliably signal “jaw.”
