tangut ideograph-179f8

Tangut character 179F8

2553/6136

𗧸 is a Tangut character, but “TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-179F8” is a catalog label, not its meaning. The Tangut script, also called Xixia, was created around 1036 under Western Xia’s first emperor to write the Tangut language and remained in use into the Yuan and Ming periods. Its characters resemble Chinese ones but belong to an unrelated script; official, private, and religious Tangut texts are still studied in 2026.

Why does 𗧸 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
