tangut ideograph-17b5d

Tangut Character 17B5D

2910/6136

𗭝 is a Tangut ideograph, but its Unicode label gives no translation. Tangut script began in 1036, before the Western Xia kingdom was founded in 1038, and remained in use through 1502. It borrowed Chinese stroke patterns, but forms a separate script.

Text symbol

What 𗭝 means

Its Unicode name supplies no Tangut word or translation.

To identify its word, consult a Tangut dictionary or the surrounding passage.

Western Xia used Tangut for records, law, literature, dictionaries, and Buddhist translations. The 12th-century Sea of Characters, a Tangut dictionary, explains characters through components.

Archival and specialized; read it in Tangut context.

Chinese-style strokes do not make it Chinese writing.

Why does 𗭝 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.
