Tangut Character 𗬨

2857/6136

𗬨 is one character in Tangut (Xixia) writing: it belongs to the Tangut language, not modern emoji or chat slang. The script was established under Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao in 1036 to translate Buddhist scriptures and support a distinct state identity; it drew on Chinese writing while serving a different language. Some Tangut Buddhist texts were still produced under Yuan rule after Western Xia fell in 1227.

Why does 𗬨 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.
