tangut ideograph-17b6e

Tangut character 17B6E

2927/6136

𗭮 is a Tangut character; its Unicode label does not tell you what word it writes or means. The script was created around 1036 for Western Xia state-building and Buddhist texts, later used for Chinese translations and secular works; its earliest document dates to 1072. Chinese writing influenced its design but was not its source; a 1502 inscription shows use after Western Xia fell. A box can mean the font lacks Tangut support.

Why does 𗭮 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.
