It continued in Yuan- and Ming-era materials before becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Tangut characters were designed in a style that looks Chinese, but the script is distinct and does not descend from Chinese ideographs.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𗻰 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.
