tangut ideograph-17bbc

Tangut character

3005/6136

𗮼 is a Tangut character, part of the writing system used for the Tangut language. It was created in 1036 for the Western Xia state, combining Chinese-style strokes into new forms for official writing and Buddhist translation. After the state fell in 1227, Tangut Buddhist books were still printed; a surviving Buddhist printing dates to 1502. It is a written character, not an emoji.

Why does 𗮼 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.
