What 𘄎 means
A Tangut wordbook glosses 𘄎 as “clear.”
A historical index pairs Tangut characters with Tibetan pronunciation notes and records this one's scholarly reading in Latin letters as gji. The wordbook labels it L1638 and distinguishes it from 𗑗 (L4751), also glossed “clear”; the shared gloss does not make them interchangeable.
The Tangut script was devised around 1036–1037 for the Western Xia state, also known as Xixia, and used for official writing and Buddhist translations. Most surviving manuscripts date from the mid-11th to early 13th century; the latest known inscription dates to 1502. Tangut writing was modeled on Chinese characters, but it represents the Tangut language.
How do I type 𘄎?
Use a Tangut input method and a font with Tangut coverage.
As of 2026, Rime's Xunpin scheme maps this glyph to llihx and also supports phonetic, stroke-based, and four-corner shape input. The scholarly reading gji is not the keystroke for that scheme.
As of 2026, Xunpin names Tangut N4694 as an example font. If the glyph appears blank or as a fallback symbol, the selected font may lack Tangut coverage.
Historical and specialist; use it in Tangut transcription or explain it in context.
Do not substitute it for a Chinese character with the same gloss; 𘄎 belongs to Tangut.

1Why does 𘄎 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.
