tangut ideograph-17c42

Tangut character

3139/6136

𗱂 is a Tangut character; Unicode labels its code point, not its meaning or reading. Developed under the first emperor of Xixia (Western Xia) around 1036, the Tangut script served official and cultural needs. Chinese influence shaped its structure, but it remained distinct. It survived the Mongol conquest into the Yuan and Ming dynasties, became obsolete by the end of the Ming, and was rediscovered in the late 19th century.

Why does 𗱂 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.
