tangut ideograph-17faf

Tangut character 𗾯

4016/6136

𗾯 is a Tangut character whose gloss is “arrow.” Tangut script, also called the Western Xia script, was used for Buddhist texts and translated books. A blank or replacement glyph points to missing font support; the character’s shape comes from the installed font.

Text symbol

What 𗾯 means

Its dictionary gloss is “arrow.”

Created in 1036, the Tangut script supported Western Xia state-building, a Buddhist canon, and a distinct political identity. Later Tangut texts carried translations of Confucian, military, and literary works.

Tangut dictionaries preserve the written sign; its Unicode encoding identifies the character but does not create its lexical gloss.

A historical Tangut word; its meaning is clearest in written context.

A lone 𗾯 is too little to read as an instruction; ask the sender what they mean.

Why does 𗾯 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.
