tangut ideograph-17efb

Tangut waterweed character

3836/6136

𗻻 is a Tangut character, glossed as a kind of waterweed; Tangut was the language of the medieval Western Xia state. In 1036, its ruler ordered the script to help build the state, translate Buddhist scriptures, and establish a distinct identity. Its forms drew on Chinese writing; neighboring Khitan scripts, created about a century earlier, offered a precedent. Tangut books include Buddhist texts and Chinese translations.

Why does 𗻻 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.
