tangut ideograph-17eb0

Tangut sign 17EB0

3761/6136

𗺰 is a Tangut character from Western Xia, not a Chinese character or emoji. Created around 1036 for state-building and Buddhist text translation, Tangut writing took visual cues from Chinese characters without deriving from them; Khitan scripts, about a century earlier, offered a model. It remained in use after Western Xia and became obsolete by the Ming dynasty's end; its Unicode number identifies the glyph, not its translation.

Why does 𗺰 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 𗺰 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.
