What 𗯕 means
It means “paper” in Tangut.
The Tangut dictionary indexes it as LFW 0744, glossed “paper.” Scholars reconstruct its reading and transcribe it in Latin letters as bow; that spelling is not a pronunciation guide.
Around 1036, Western Xia’s first emperor ordered the Tangut script created for official and cultural writing. A Tangut manuscript fragment found in the ruins of Khara-Khoto probably dates to the 12th or early 13th century.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗯕 show as a box?
Font-dependent. As of 2026, without Tangut font coverage it may appear as a box or fallback glyph; a Tangut-capable font is needed for proper display.
