Tangut Character for Powder

3458/6136

𗶁 means “powder” in Tangut. Promulgated in 1036, the script served Xixia (Western Xia) and marked it as distinct from Song China. It drew on Chinese character-building but wrote another language; neighboring Khitans had earlier made two scripts, one based on Chinese. Surviving texts include Buddhist scriptures and secular works translated from Chinese. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut writing continued: a Buddhist pillar from 1502 preserves Tangut text.

Why does 𗶁 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.
