tangut ideograph-1816c

Tangut Character 1816C

4461/6136

𘅬 is a Tangut character meaning “to enclose”; scholars reconstruct its reading as *thi. Introduced in 1036 to write the language of the Western Xia kingdom in northwest China, the Tangut script modeled Chinese writing. It served official records and Buddhist translations and survived the kingdom: a Buddhist pillar bears the latest known inscription, dated 1502. A character analysis traces it to signs for a place name and a circle.

Why does 𘅬 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.
