tangut ideograph-17a50

Tangut character for weapon

2641/6136

In the Tangut language, 𗩐 means “weapon,” not a picture of one. The Tangut script was created around 1036 for official correspondence in the Western Xia kingdom of northwest China, then used for Buddhist translations; it remained in use after the kingdom fell in 1227. Its square forms resemble Chinese characters, but it writes Tangut, not Chinese.

Why does 𗩐 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.
