What 𘅮 means
It denotes the body part “hand.”
TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-1816E is a Unicode label built from the code point; it identifies the character, not the Tangut word.
Is 𘅮 Chinese?
No. It belongs to the separate Tangut script.
Tangut characters resemble Chinese, but the scripts are unrelated. Created around 1036 for Western Xia, Tangut writing served official, cultural, and religious needs, including Buddhist and classical translations. It continued under Yuan and Ming rule and became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.
Why does 𘅮 look different in some fonts?
Its shape can vary while the character stays the same.
As of 2026, two historical source forms are recorded for 𘅮; a font can show either form without changing the encoded character.

Questions people ask
1Why does 𘅮 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.
