tangut ideograph-17d87

Tangut character for matchmaker

3464/6136

𗶇 is a Tangut character; a Tangut–Chinese dictionary glosses it as 媒, “matchmaker” or marriage go-between. The Tangut script took shape at the Western Xia court in the 11th century as a marker of Tangut identity; its Chinese-inspired forms wrote Tangut, not Chinese, in official and Buddhist texts and survived the state's fall in 1227. A blank box can mean your font lacks Tangut support.

Why does 𗶇 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.
