tangut ideograph-17abb

Tangut oath character

2748/6136

𗪻 means “oath,” a solemn promise, in Tangut. The Tangut script served the Western Xia state; a blank box usually means the font lacks Tangut support.

Text symbol

What 𗪻 means

It names a sworn promise.

The Western Xia state ordered the Tangut script in 1036 for government, cultural life, and Buddhist translations.

A surviving manuscript, probably from the 12th or early 13th century, preserves Tangut literary writing. Tangut communities kept using the script after the state fell in 1227; inscribed stone pillars at Baoding dated 1502 are later evidence of that use.

Historical and specialist: it fits Tangut-language writing and manuscript discussion.

If 𗪻 shows as a blank box, the font likely lacks Tangut glyph coverage.

Why does 𗪻 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.
