tangut ideograph-17aab

Tangut character 17AAB

2732/6136

𗪫 is a Tangut character; its Unicode label gives an ID, not a reading or word gloss. The Tangut script served Western Xia government, private life, and religion, then remained in use among Buddhist communities. As of 2025, the latest Tangut inscriptions with known dates were carved on Buddhist pillars in 1502. If the Tangut character isn't displaying, the font may lack coverage.

Text symbol

What 𗪫 means

Unicode gives this character an identifier, not a dictionary gloss. To identify its reading, consult a Tangut dictionary or the sentence around it.

The Xixia script was created about 1036 for the Tangut language. Chinese and Khitan writing traditions influenced its design, but it remained distinct; the Khitan were another people in the region with their own script.

Why does 𗪫 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.
