tangut ideograph-18262

Tangut character

4707/6136

𘉢 is a Tangut character, but its strokes alone do not reveal the word it represents. The Tangut script was created for Western Xia and continued in texts under the Yuan and Ming dynasties. If someone sends it alone, ask what text it came from before guessing at a message meaning.

Text symbol

What 𘉢 means

Its meaning depends on Tangut context.

The Tangut script was created during the reign of Western Xia's first emperor around 1036 CE for state and cultural use. Surviving examples include official and private texts, religious books, inscriptions, and manuscripts.

Tangut writing continued under China's Yuan and Ming dynasties after Western Xia fell, then became obsolete by the end of the Ming dynasty. Tangut characters can resemble Chinese writing, but Tangut is a separate script. Specialists use dictionaries and surrounding text to establish a reading; the strokes alone do not provide a reliable translation.

A historical written character; its reading depends on Tangut text and dictionaries.

If it arrives alone, ask for the surrounding text; its shape does not establish a message meaning.

Why does 𘉢 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.
