tangut ideograph-17e25

Tangut character 𗸥

3622/6136

𗸥 is a Tangut character whose dictionary gloss is “to mate.” The Tangut script was commissioned for the state and cultural writing of Xixia (Western Xia). On its own, the gloss does not reliably signal a romantic message, and a font without Tangut coverage may hide the glyph.

Text symbol

What 𗸥 means

In the English index to Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut dictionary, 𗸥 is L1625, glossed “to mate.”

Surviving manuscripts and Buddhist printed texts preserve Tangut writing.

Specialist historical text, suited to Tangut study or faithful reproduction.

Alone, its dictionary gloss is not a clear romantic message; a font without Tangut support may show a missing-glyph box.

Questions people ask

Why does 𗸥 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.

Why is 𗸥 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
