Tangut Character for Below

2082/6136

𗠡 means “below” in Tangut, the language of the Western Xia (Xixia) state in northwestern China. Tangut writing was created around 1036 for official correspondence and translated texts, including Buddhist works. It continued in use under Yuan and Ming rule after Western Xia fell.

Text symbol

What 𗠡 means

“Below-people” is a Tangut word for “servant.” 𗠡 means “below”; 𘓐, pronounced dzjwo² in scholarly Tangut reconstruction, means “people.” Together they form the Tangut word 𗠡𘓐.

Is 𗠡 Chinese or an emoji?

No; it belongs to Tangut, a separate script. Tangut writing can resemble Chinese characters, but it represents another language. 𗠡 is neither a Chinese character nor an emoji.

If your recipient does not read Tangut, this will not communicate the English word “below”; add a gloss.

Why does 𗠡 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.
