tangut ideograph-17b8b

Tangut Character 17B8B

2956/6136

𗮋 is a Tangut character from Western Xia’s historical language, not a Chinese character. Introduced in 1036 under ruler Li Yuanhao, Tangut writing borrowed visual ideas from Chinese characters and followed the example of neighboring Khitan scripts; it helped establish a state identity and translate Buddhist sacred texts. It carried government records and secular literature, surviving Western Xia’s fall in 1227 and continuing into China’s Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Why does 𗮋 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.
