Tangut character 17FDE

4063/6136

𗿞 is a Tangut character glossed as “to mate.” The Tangut script was created for the Xixia (Western Xia) state, and this word belongs to its now-extinct language. It is a historical word, not a standard sex emoji; today the character turns up in dictionaries, fonts, and Tangut studies.

Text symbol

What 𗿞 means

It means “to mate” in Tangut.

That is a dictionary gloss for a word in the extinct Tangut language. It gives the character a sexual meaning, but does not make it a standard sex emoji or tell you why someone sent it.

Historical readers met Tangut words in texts; today readers encounter this character in digital dictionaries, fonts, or studies of the script.

Why was Tangut script created?

It gave the Western Xia state a written form for Tangut.

The script was created under the first Western Xia emperor about 1036 CE. It gave the state a way to write its language for government correspondence and Buddhist translations, while also marking a distinct state culture alongside Song China.

After the Western Xia fell, Tangut script remained in use under the Yuan and Ming dynasties, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.

What does 𗿞 mean when someone sends it?

It has no standard emoji-style message reading.

A reader who recognizes the gloss could read it sexually. The single character alone cannot tell you whether it is a word, quotation, script reference, or typographic curiosity.

Treat it as a historical text character, not a clear sex hint. If you do not read Tangut, the glyph alone will not tell you its dictionary gloss.

Historical and specialist, with a sexual dictionary gloss; it is not a casual chat symbol.

A sexual gloss is not a clear sex hint if the recipient cannot read Tangut.

Questions people ask

3

Is 𗿞 an emoji?

No. It is a Tangut text character, drawn by the current font rather than an emoji artwork set.

Is 𗿞 a Chinese character?

No. It belongs to the separate Tangut script, which writes the historical Tangut language. Tangut characters may resemble Chinese ideographs, but they are not Chinese writing.

Why does 𗿞 look different in different fonts?

It can. Tangut sources preserve variant glyph shapes, but not every shape difference marks a separate Unicode character. Fonts can draw 𗿞 differently while representing the same encoded character.
