tangut ideograph-17bc3

Tangut Character 17BC3

3012/6136

𗯃 is a Tangut character; its Unicode name does not tell you which word it represents. The script was created around 1036 for the Tangut language of Western Xia, remained in use through the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Rediscovered in the late 19th century, it drew renewed study. Without Tangut font support, it may appear as a box.

Why does 𗯃 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.
