What 𘋀 means
Its English meaning is unsettled. A Tangut dictionary files it as L3854; scholars reconstruct the pronunciation of 𘋀 as gjur², ²gur₄, or ngi̯ụ². These specialist spellings are sound proposals, not translations. As of 2026, no English translation is settled.
Western Xia ruler Li Yuanhao commissioned the Tangut script in 1036 to support state-building and translate Buddhist texts. It drew on Chinese forms and structure but remained distinct; Western Xia followed neighboring Khitan states' example of creating scripts. A 12th-century text discusses Tangut pronunciation; 12th- or early-13th-century Khara-khoto manuscripts preserve Buddhist and secular works.

𘋀\182C0Why is 𘋀 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
