tangut ideograph-17b97

Tangut Character 17B97

2968/6136

𗮗 is a Tangut character; its Unicode label does not tell you the Tangut word it represents. Tangut writing was created around 1036 to support Western Xia state-building and Buddhist translation. The 12th-century Sea of Writing, a Tangut reference book, indexes it at 37.262, and Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut–Chinese dictionary lists it as L2008-5496. Its displayed shape can vary by font.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗮗 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.

Why is 𗮗 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
