tangut ideograph-17a57

Tangut sign 𗩗

2648/6136

𗩗 is a Tangut character; its Unicode label is an inventory tag, not a reading or translation. Tangut writing was developed around 1036 for the Tangut-ruled Western Xia state and used in official writing and Buddhist translations.

Text symbol

What 𗩗 means

Its Unicode label identifies the sign; it does not give a Tangut reading.

An index to a Tangut dictionary published in 2008 records it as three side-by-side components: 𘢌, 𘢔, and 𘦢. This describes the written structure, not a word's meaning.

Is 𗩗 Chinese or Tangut?

Tangut: Chinese writing influenced the script, not this character's identity.

The Western Xia state used Tangut to write the Tangut language. Chinese character writing influenced the script's design, but Tangut has its own distinct set of signs.

Why does 𗩗 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.
