Tangut character 𗠁

2050/6136

𗠁 begins a Tangut title element translated tentatively as “victory” in one Buddhist teacher list; the reading depends on context. Tangut writing served Western Xia records and translations of major Chinese works. A box-shaped placeholder points to missing Tangut font coverage.

Text symbol

What 𗠁 means

One Buddhist text uses it in a phrase tentatively read as “victory.”

A 2025 study finds it in a list of Buddhist teachers; the rest of the title remains uncertain. Unicode’s name is a catalog label, not an English translation.

Why was Tangut writing made?

It gave the Tangut language a writing system for Western Xia.

Formalized in 1036, it served state records and the Tangut language, including translations of major Chinese works.

Tangut writing remained in use through 1502; that date belongs to the script’s history, not the first appearance of this exact character.

Why does 𗠁 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 𗠁 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.
