tangut ideograph-17bfe

Tangut character 𗯾

3071/6136

𗯾 is a character in the Tangut script; “Tangut Ideograph-17BFE” identifies it by code point, not by meaning. Tangut writing appeared around 1036 as Western Xia’s state script for government and Buddhist texts, drawing on Chinese writing’s visual model and earlier Khitan state-script practice. After 1227, it continued in Yuan- and Ming-period texts, so read this character in its Tangut context.

Why does 𗯾 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.
