tangut ideograph-17ad8

Tangut Character 17AD8

2777/6136

𗫘 is a Tangut-script character, distinct from Chinese and Japanese writing; a reliable English meaning for this exact sign is not established as of 2026. Tangut writing began around 1036 as part of Western Xia state-building and was used for Buddhist and secular texts. Buddhist inscriptions dated 1502 show the script remained in use centuries later. Its design drew on Chinese writing, while neighboring Khitan communities also developed writing systems.

Why does 𗫘 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.
