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.

Text symbol

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?

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 𗡆 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.
