Tangut character 𗬎

2831/6136

In Tangut, 𗬎 means “villain.” The Tangut script—a writing system for the Tangut language—was created under Western Xia rule around 1036 and used for official, private, Buddhist, and legal texts. Its forms drew on Chinese and Khitan writing, but it was distinct; use continued through the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the script later became a subject of scholarly study.

Text symbol

What 𗬎 means

A Tangut dictionary glosses it as “villain.” The gloss names the Tangut word’s meaning; it is not a description inferred from the character’s shape.

If it appears as a box, the font lacks Tangut coverage. Unicode preserves the character’s identity; the font supplies its visible form.

Why does 𗬎 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.

Why is 𗬎 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
