What 𘆡 means
It is a Tangut character; its Unicode label is not a translation.
The name “Tangut Ideograph-181A1” identifies the encoded character, but gives no word or pronunciation.
The Tangut script was officially designed in 1036 for the Western Xia state. It was used for government writing, Chinese works translated into Tangut, and Buddhist texts. After Western Xia fell in 1227, Tangut continued in religious inscriptions; a later example is dated 1502. Its square forms and some character-building ideas draw on Chinese writing, but Tangut is a separate script.
How do I type 𘆡?
Use a Tangut input method or a Unicode-aware tool.
Specialist Tangut input methods can offer definition lookup, handwriting or code entry. As of 2025.9, one web tool offered these modes and required a compatible dictionary file for code entry.
To enter it directly, use hexadecimal code point 181A1 in software that accepts Unicode values. To see the result, use a font with Tangut coverage; a blank box means the font or text renderer lacks the glyph.
Reference-oriented: this character belongs in Tangut text or study.
A blank box usually means missing Tangut font support, not a corrupt character.
