tangut ideograph-17b5f

Tangut character

2912/6136

𗭟 is a Tangut (Xixia) character of the Western Xia kingdom; its Unicode label is an ID, not a translation. Emperor Li Yuanhao ordered it around 1036 to support state-building and translate Buddhist scriptures. Its forms drew on Chinese writing, while Tangut rulers also followed the example of Khitan neighbors who made scripts about a century earlier. The script remained in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete.

Why does 𗭟 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.
