What 𗠲 means
A Tangut–Chinese dictionary glosses it as “shame.”
Its Chinese gloss is 耻. Tangut was designed with Chinese and Khitan models but remains a distinct script, not Chinese writing. Unicode’s numeric name identifies the code point; it does not give the Tangut word’s pronunciation.
Why does 𗠲 show as a box?
The active font needs Tangut glyphs.
A missing-glyph box means the active font lacks this character. As of 2026, Noto Serif Tangut includes Tangut glyphs; a font with that coverage can display 𗠲.
Historical writing, not a social cue.
Its Chinese-like shape does not make it Chinese.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗠲 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.

𗠲\17832Why is 𗠲 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.
