tangut ideograph-17d8f

Tangut Character 17D8F

3472/6136

𗶏 is a Tangut-script character; its individual meaning remains uncertain as of 2026. Its reconstructed reading, *ke, is roughly “keh”: a proposed pronunciation, not a translation. Tangut writing was created around 1036 for the Tangut language of Western Xia, the Tangut kingdom, and used in official texts and Buddhist translations; it continued in manuscripts after the state fell in 1227. Chinese writing was influential in the region.

Why does 𗶏 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.
