tangut ideograph-17eca

Tangut character 17ECA

3787/6136

𗻊 is a character in Tangut writing, a historical script for the Tangut language; a message containing it needs context from Tangut text. Western Xia created the Tangut script in 1036 for state communication and translated classics and Buddhist texts. Tangut printing and inscriptions continued under Mongol rule after Western Xia fell in 1227; two Buddhist pillars dated 1502 are among the latest datable examples.

Text symbol

What 𗻊 means

The gloss “poison” belongs to the full word 𗀀𗻊, not to 𗻊 alone.

Tangut forms may look like Chinese writing because the Tangut script was developed with Chinese influence, but Tangut writes a different language.

Read it as historical Tangut writing; a single glyph is not enough to infer a conversational tone.

Why is 𗻊 showing as a box?

The app or device cannot find a font with Tangut coverage. A Tangut-capable font can display the character; the box is a fallback for a missing glyph.
