This Tangut character has no secure English gloss as of 2026. Tangut, also called Xixia, is a script created in Western Xia to write the Tangut language and later used for Buddhist, legal, and Confucian texts. Though modeled partly on Chinese and Khitan writing, it is a distinct script.

What 𘈅 means

Its exact word meaning remains uncertain.

This Tangut character has reconstructed readings, but a proposed pronunciation is not an English translation.

How did Tangut writing develop?

Western Xia's first emperor commissioned the Tangut script around 1036 to record the Tangut language.

After Western Xia fell to the Mongols, it remained in use during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, becoming obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty.

Font support determines whether this Tangut glyph displays clearly.

Why does 𘈅 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.
