Text symbol

What 𗫔 means

A comparative Tangut list gives it the sense “many.” The scholarly reconstruction of its reading is written *ꞏji¹; it is a reconstruction, not a modern recording.

By 1036, Tangut writing served government correspondence and Buddhist translation. Buddhist Tangut sources continued after Western Xia fell in 1227. Unicode’s components describe a character’s structure; they do not translate it.

A character from historical Tangut writing.

Why does 𗫔 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.
