Tangut Character 17AA2

𗪢 is a Tangut character glossed “to throw.” The Tangut script—also called Xixia—was used to write the language of the Western Xia state, including in official and Buddhist texts. This glyph appears in a historical rhyme dictionary; its Chinese-like shape does not make it Chinese.

What 𗪢 means

No. 𗪢 belongs to Tangut, not Chinese. Created around 1036 under the first Western Xia emperor to write Tangut, the script borrowed Chinese character forms but represents a different language.

The Sea of Characters, a Tangut dictionary organized by rhyming sounds, lists this glyph as a main entry in the mid-12th century. A two-character Tangut verb beginning with it is translated as “throw away.”

Historical Tangut text, not a standard modern chat symbol.

Do not mistake its Chinese-like shape for a Chinese character.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗪢 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.
