tangut ideograph-18214

Tangut Character

4629/6136

𘈔 is a Tangut character, but its standalone meaning is uncertain. In 1036, Western Xia's Li Yuanhao ordered Tangut writing for state-building and Buddhist texts; it was also used in government and secular books. Chinese writing inspired Tangut forms without being their source; Tanguts followed their Khitan neighbors’ earlier creation of scripts. As of 2025, the latest dated Tangut material known is from 1502, long after Western Xia fell.

Questions people ask

Why does 𘈔 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Tangut block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
