tangut ideograph-17cce

Tangut character 17CCE

The Tangut character 𗳎 belongs to the script used to write the Tangut language of Western Xia (Xixia). It entered state use around 1036 and later appeared in Buddhist works and translations of Chinese texts; Tangut writing continued after the dynasty fell in 1227, with a known example from 1502. Its Unicode name is an identifier, not an English gloss.

A Tangut font is needed to display it; without one, it may appear as a blank box.

Historical Tangut writing; its reading needs text in context.

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.
