What 𘊌 means
Scholars gloss 𘊌 as “indignation.” Tangut names both the historical language and its writing system. This is a Tangut character, not a Chinese character with a Mandarin reading, even though its shape may look familiar.
The script was created under the first Western Xia emperor around 1036. It served the state’s identity and Buddhist canon, and was also used for translations of Chinese works and other texts.
How do I type 𘊌?
Use a Tangut input method with its dictionary loaded. As of 2026, Tangut IME Online describes a browser-based tool using RIME, an input-method framework. It has no Tangut dictionary built in: load one, enter the character’s lookup code, then choose it from the candidates.
A square or blank box means the app’s font cannot display Tangut. As of 2026, Noto Serif Tangut documents broad coverage of the Tangut block, while Tangut IME Online warns that some mobile apps may still fail to render Tangut text.
Historical text; understanding it assumes Tangut reading knowledge or a reference.
Do not use it as a general-purpose anger signal.

1Why does 𘊌 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.
