Text symbol

What 𘄓 means

The dictionary gloss is “a kind of animal.”

𘄓 is Tangut, not Chinese: the Tangut script is distinct, though some of its structures follow Chinese models. It served books, Buddhist sutras, inscriptions, and manuscripts, and remained in use under Yuan and Ming rule before becoming obsolete. Its visible form depends on a Tangut-capable font.

Specialist historical writing from the Tangut tradition.

The gloss does not identify a species.

Why does 𘄓 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.
