Text symbol

What 𗧻 means

It denotes a person of the Tangut people.

Tangut, also called Xixia, was a Tibeto-Burman language, a family that includes Tibetan and Burmese. Western Xia established the Xixia script around 1036 to write it. This Tangut glyph appears in the 12th-century Homophones, a reference work. Tangut texts continued in official, private, and religious use after the state fell.

Why does 𗧻 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.
