tangut ideograph-17f97

Tangut character for [na]

3992/6136

𗾗 is a Tangut character used to write the syllable [na], a sound rather than an idea. Around 1036, the Western Xia kingdom in northwest China created Tangut script to record its language and translate Buddhist texts, drawing on Chinese writing and following the Khitan example from about a century earlier. Tangut Buddhist texts continued under Yuan rule after Western Xia fell to Mongols in 1227.

Why does 𗾗 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.
