Tangut ideograph 178D3

𗣓 is a Tangut character; its Unicode name “Tangut ideograph 178D3” is a code label, not a translation. The Tangut (Xixia) script was created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor; it wrote the Tangut language in official and Buddhist texts and continued into the Yuan and Ming after the state fell. Chinese-inspired in form, Tangut followed the neighboring Khitans, who had created scripts about a century earlier.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗣓 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.
