Tangut character for arm

2119/6136

𗡆 is a Tangut character for “arm.” The Tangut script was created for the Tangut language under the first emperor of the Western Xia kingdom around 1036 CE; after the kingdom fell, it remained in use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties and became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. A box on screen means your font lacks Tangut glyphs.

What 𗡆 means

It denotes an arm in Tangut.

Li Fanwen’s Tangut–Chinese dictionary gives the reconstructed reading phər: a “p” with a puff of air, a brief “uh”-like vowel, then “r.”

Why does 𗡆 show as a box?

The font in use lacks Tangut coverage.

The character is still present in the text; a Tangut-capable font can draw it.

Why does 𗡆 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.
