Tangut Ideograph 178C4

2245/6136

𗣄 is a Tangut character; its Unicode name is a code label, not a translation. Made for the Tangut language in the Western Xia state, the script dates to 1036–1037; its earliest surviving example is an official document from 1072. Its square structure reflects Chinese writing; Khitan influence is disputed. Tangut Buddhist texts continued into the Yuan after Western Xia fell in 1227; display needs a Tangut-capable font.

Why does 𗣄 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.
