Text symbol

What 𗿕 means

It names a human person in Tangut.

The script wrote Tangut, a historic language preserved in official, private, and religious texts.

Western Xia was a kingdom in northwestern China. Its first emperor created the Tangut script around 1036; after Mongol conquest, it remained in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties, then fell out of use.

Historical and scholarly in tone.

The Unicode label is an inventory tag, not a Tangut translation.

Why does 𗿕 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 𗿕 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.
