Tangut Character 17E55

3670/6136

𗹕 is a Tangut character; dow¹ is a reconstructed reading, not a translation. Emperor Li Yuanhao commissioned the script in 1036 for state-building in Western Xia and Buddhist texts; Chinese-inspired but not Chinese-derived, it followed the Khitan neighbors' example. A Khara-khoto manuscript, probably from the 12th or early 13th century, shows secular Tangut writing. A Tangut font may be needed; input methods exist as of 2026.

Why does 𗹕 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.
