tangut ideograph-17988

Tangut character 17988

2441/6136

𗦈 is a Tangut-script character; its Unicode label identifies the glyph, not the word or reading it represents. Tangut writing was commissioned in 1036 for Western Xia state-building and Buddhist translation, and is securely attested in an official military record from 1072. After Western Xia fell in 1227, the script continued in Buddhist, administrative, literary, and Chinese texts. It resembles Chinese characters, but Tangut is a separate script.

Why does 𗦈 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.
