tangut ideograph-177fa

Tangut character

2043/6136

𗟺 is a Tangut character, not a Chinese one. Its Unicode label names it, not its meaning. Tangut writing arose around 1036 for the Western Xia state and Buddhist texts, later serving religious and secular writing. The Khitans had made scripts earlier; Tangut borrowed Chinese design principles without deriving from Chinese. As of 2026, this glyph needs Tangut context to read; a box may mean the font lacks Tangut coverage.

Why does 𗟺 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.
