Tangut warehouse character

In Tangut, 𗾊 means “warehouse” or “storehouse.” It names a building where goods are kept.

Tangut is the historical script of the now-extinct Tangut language. Commissioned in 1036 for state writing and Buddhist-canon translations (a canon is a collection of sacred texts), it also appears in official writing, translations, and books. This sign belongs to that manuscript tradition.

Why can 𗾊 mean warehouse or bird?

Older encoded data conflated two distinct Tangut signs. Unicode 13.0 kept 𗾊 for “warehouse” and assigned the bird sign to 𘴃. If an older dictionary or text gives 𗾊 a bird gloss, check its source mapping and surrounding text before deciding which sign was intended.

Should I send 𗾊 alone?

Use it alone only when Tangut context is clear. Outside that context, add the plain-language gloss “warehouse.” A bird gloss is a reason to check the encoding, not to silently change the reading.

On a browser or app without a Tangut-capable font, it may appear as an empty box or missing-glyph mark. The display can fail while the underlying text still contains the same character.
