tangut ideograph-17afa

Tangut character 𗫺

2811/6136

𗫺 is a Tangut character, but its Unicode name is an identifier, not the word it represents; the chart label is L2008-3096. Created for the Western Xia state around 1036–1037, Tangut writing served official, Buddhist, and legal texts; Chinese and Khitan influenced its distinct structure. A 12th-century Chinese–Tangut glossary preserves historical readings; this character needs a dictionary entry for its meaning. Display may require a Tangut-capable font.

Why does 𗫺 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.
