tangut ideograph-17f80

Tangut character 17F80

3969/6136

A Tangut dictionary translates 𗾀 as “powerful.” The Tangut script was developed around 1036 for Western Xia, with forms modeled on Chinese and Khitan writing. It served official, Buddhist, legal, and literary texts and remained in use after 1227 before falling out of use. This character is font-rendered text, not emoji artwork.

What 𗾀 means

Its Tangut dictionary gloss is “powerful.” A Tangut dictionary lists 𗾀 as entry 2576; that number labels the entry, not a reading of the character. Tangut is a writing system distinct from Chinese, though its forms draw on Chinese and Khitan traditions. As of 2026, it has no established modern message meaning beyond its historical word.

Historical and specialist; add a short translation when readers need the word’s meaning.

Why does 𗾀 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.

Why is 𗾀 a box on my screen?

fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
