Tangut Ideograph-17D6C

3437/6136

𗵬 is a Tangut character used to write borrowed names by sound, not an emoji reaction. Some fonts lack the Tangut glyph needed to display it.

Text symbol

What 𗵬 means

It records a sound from another language. A transliteration writes how a name or term sounds instead of translating its meaning. A Tangut-Chinese dictionary catalogs this glyph in that class, which includes Chinese and Buddhist terms.

The Tangut script was promulgated in 1036 to write Tangut, before the Western Xia (Xixia) state was founded. Its forms were modeled on the regular, blocklike style of Chinese writing, but Tangut characters are not Chinese characters reused one for one.

Why does 𗵬 show as a box?

Your font may not include Tangut.

Fonts supply character outlines, and some omit Tangut. Choose one that supports Tangut if the glyph is missing.

Why does 𗵬 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.
