Tangut character 17EDB

It is a Tangut character; its Unicode label is not a translation.

The Tangut script was created around 1036 under the first emperor of Western Xia (Xixia) to write Tangut, a language of northwestern China. Surviving examples include official and private documents, books, Buddhist sutras, inscriptions, and manuscripts. After Western Xia fell, the script remained in use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties before becoming obsolete.

A Tangut corpus index links 𗻛 to L2008-2792. Wén Hǎi, a Tangut dictionary organized by rhyme, places it at 54.142 in Rhyme 45. These catalogue entries locate the character; they do not give a plain-language translation or pronunciation.

Is 𗻛 a Chinese character?

No; 𗻛 belongs to the distinct Tangut script.

Tangut writing was designed for the Tangut language, and its visual forms show Chinese influence. It is a separate writing system, so a character's resemblance to a Chinese ideograph does not make it Chinese or supply a Mandarin reading.

Why does 𗻛 look different in different fonts?

Unicode identifies the character; the font draws its outline.

Tangut sources preserve variant glyph shapes. Unicode sometimes groups historical forms when their shape differences did not distinguish words in a source. A font can therefore draw 𗻛 differently without changing its encoded identity.

An empty box means your font lacks Tangut coverage.
