tangut ideograph-17957

Tangut character 17957

2392/6136

𗥗 is a Tangut character from the state of Western Xia. The script appears in official and Buddhist texts from 1036; Buddhist pillars bear inscriptions as late as 1502. A 2008 Tangut dictionary reconstructs *phə¹: an aspirated p plus a weak neutral vowel; ¹ marks tone class. It estimates sound, not meaning.

Text symbol

What 𗥗 means

It is a Tangut character; *phə¹ is its reconstructed reading.

Its square, Chinese-style strokes belong to a separate script. A formal analysis splits 𗥗 into three components, or smaller written parts.

What if someone sends 𗥗 alone?

Ask for context; the glyph alone cannot reveal the sender's intent.

It identifies Tangut, but not why the sender chose it.

A Tangut font with glyph coverage is needed to display the character correctly.

Why does 𗥗 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.
