tangut ideograph-17a1a

Tangut character 17A1A

2587/6136

𗨚 is a Tangut character, but its Unicode label is a code-point tag, not a word gloss; Tangut was spoken in northwestern China. The script was devised under Western Xia’s first emperor around 1036 for official and cultural writing, using Chinese character structure for a different language. Tangut texts, including Buddhist works, continued after the state fell, into the Ming dynasty; the script was obsolete by its end.

Why does 𗨚 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.

Why is 𗨚 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
