tangut ideograph-178df

Tangut character

2272/6136

𗣟 is a Tangut character, not a Chinese one; its Unicode label identifies the glyph but does not translate it. The Tangut script was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state, especially to translate Buddhist texts; manuscripts from the late 12th and 13th centuries show Buddhist and secular translations from Chinese and Tibetan written in it. Its design drew on Chinese writing and the Khitan script, another regional writing system.

Why does 𗣟 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.
