tangut ideograph-17870

Tangut Character 17870

2161/6136

𗡰 is a character in the Tangut script, which wrote the Tangut language of Western Xia, a state in northwestern China. “Tangut Ideograph-17870” is Unicode’s catalog label, not a translation. The script was created around 1036 for state correspondence and Buddhist texts; it later included secular works and outlasted Western Xia, which fell in 1227. Chinese writing influenced it, but Tangut stayed a distinct script; neighboring Khitans had already made their own scripts.

Why does 𗡰 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.
