Tangut Character 178EA

2283/6136

𗣪 is the Tangut word for pee; “urine” is the formal gloss. In ordinary chat, it reads as a scholarly or historical reference. Tangut script was created for Western Xia (Xixia) around 1036, a medieval state ruled by Tangut people.

Text symbol

What 𗣪 means

It means “urine.”

Tangut is a separate writing system for the Tangut language. Its dense style reflects Chinese influence, but 𗣪 is not Chinese. The script was created for Western Xia, a medieval state ruled by Tangut people.

The glyph appears in Wénhǎi (“Sea of Writing”), a historical Tangut dictionary. Its reconstructed reading is written bjị in scholarly transcription. Unicode 16.0 notes Tangut fonts can vary in glyph design; without Tangut font support, it may be blank.

Historical and scholarly in tone; its literal meaning makes it a blunt choice in casual conversation.

Why does 𗣪 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.
