tangut ideograph-17f4a

Tangut character for cave

3915/6136

𗽊 is given the meaning “cave” in Li Fanwen’s 2008 Tangut–Chinese dictionary; its Unicode name is a code label, not a translation. Tangut, the language of Western Xia, got a script around 1036 for state records and a distinct identity, shaped by Chinese characters. Its earliest surviving dated text is an official document from 1072; later texts include Buddhist translations, and a 1502 inscription shows use after Western Xia fell.

Why does 𗽊 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.
