Tangut Ideograph-179F6

𗧶 is a Tangut character from a script created around 1036 to write the Tangut language and mark the Western Xia state as distinct from Song China. The earliest surviving text dates to 1072; Tangut later carried Buddhist books and stayed in use after Western Xia fell. Chinese writing inspired Tangut's design, but it is a separate script; the Unicode 17.0 (2025) chart and a Tangut dictionary show different accepted forms.

Why does 𗧶 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.
