tangut ideograph-17c4e

Tangut Character 17C4E

3151/6136

A Tangut dictionary gives 𗱎 the English meaning “dangerous.” Introduced in 1036 to record Tangut, the language of Western Xia, the script also marked the kingdom’s identity; its square forms drew on Chinese writing but remained a separate system. It was used for government and teaching; as of 2025, the latest datable Tangut materials are Buddhist stone pillars dated 1502, long after Western Xia fell in 1227.

Why does 𗱎 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.
