Text symbol

What 𗰮 means

It means “to die young” in Tangut.

A Tangut dictionary reconstructs its reading as *vyr₁; the notation is not a pronunciation guide.

Tangut writing served Western Xia

Created about 1036 for Western Xia, a kingdom in northwestern China, the component-based script resembled Chinese writing but served state-building, Buddhist texts, and an identity distinct from neighboring Song China.

A Khara-Khoto manuscript fragment dates to the 12th or early 13th century. Tangut writing continued through the Yuan and Ming periods before falling out of use.

Why does 𗰮 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.
