tangut ideograph-179a7

Tangut character 179A7

2472/6136

𗦧 is a Tangut character, but its code-based Unicode label, 179A7, does not give its meaning. Tangut writing served Western Xia’s officials and Buddhist translators, and remained in use after the state fell. A Tangut dictionary or the surrounding text can identify this character’s word and reading.

Text symbol

What 𗦧 means

The label 179A7 identifies a code point, not a translation. It gives no Tangut word or pronunciation; use a Tangut dictionary or the passage where it appears.

The Tangut script, also called Xixia script, was created under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 to write the Tangut language. It appears in official records and Buddhist translations from Chinese and Tibetan. Its forms may resemble Chinese characters, but Tangut is a distinct script. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued under the Yuan and Ming dynasties; 1502 is the latest known example.

Why does 𗦧 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.
