tangut ideograph-17f5f

Tangut character 17F5F

3936/6136

𗽟 is a Tangut character linked to Chinese 徨, whose dictionary sense is “wandering” or “wavering.” The Tangut script served the Western Xia state and its Buddhist texts, with Chinese and Khitan traditions shaping its literature. If 𗽟 appears as a box in the app, the active font lacks Tangut coverage.

Text symbol

What 𗽟 means

Its gloss points to wandering or wavering. The Tangut–Chinese dictionary pairs this entry with Chinese 徨. Treat that as a dictionary clue, not a complete translation: the surrounding Tangut text decides which sense fits.

Why was Tangut writing created?

It served the Western Xia state. The Tangut script was created in 1036 for government and Buddhist scripture. Its official and literary texts also reflect Chinese and Khitan traditions; the Khitan were a neighboring people.

Why does 𗽟 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.
