What 𗬼 means
Its reconstructed sound does not translate the word.
A Tangut table places 𗬼 in rhyme group R.92, a sound category, and reconstructs the ending as -jɨr. That is a pronunciation clue, not a gloss; a sentence or dictionary supplies the word.
Introduced around 1036, the script used square forms influenced by Chinese writing. A possible influence from writing of the neighboring Khitan people remains debated; Tangut manuscripts and inscriptions survived beyond Western Xia.
A historical character for reading Tangut texts.
As of 2026, Tangut font support varies; a box means the active font lacks 𗬼, and fonts may draw it differently.

1Why does 𗬼 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.
